This has been my biggest concern. Getting it wrong will simply drive certain types of research underground or overseas, where they will still happen, merely less controlled.
It's an issue that needs to be approached very carefully. I don't find myself advocating for government beaurocracy very often, but AI deserves its own subcommittees in the House and Senate, so a handful of politicians can at least try to take the time to become specifically educated on the topic. Then they can be douchebags about it, but at least they won't be able to claim ignorance.
I feel that in order for that to happen, we really need younger representatives who have an understanding of how AI works and its current/potential impacts. I really don’t see any of the older politicians having anywhere close to the understanding or willingness to learn about this kind of technology in a way that would lead to productive discourse and regulation.
