Its impossible to regulate open source, AI or not. Doing so would be another brick in the wall, helping to cripple whatever region tries to regulate it. Just because some countries want to regulate it to try to control its power, it's already too late. Bad actors aren't waiting for anything, they have a head start. They don't work on ethics or morals so have no problem doing what they want, but even discounting that you have other countries with their own citizens who can work on AI. The cat's out of the bag, the elite see the power and danger AI can bring them, and think that restricting who can utilise it they can be safe. But for how long?
It would be difficult indeed, but without a doubt they will still try and cause massive damage to our basic freedoms. For example, imagine if one day all chips require DRMs at the hardware level that cannot be disabled. This is just one example of the damage they could do. There isn't much any consumer can do if they do this since developing your own GPU is nearly impossible.
