Zero. Nada. Nilch.

They would shoot themselves in the foot.

If USA outlaws AI research, China would double down, and vice versa.

Would some governments do it? Maybe, but they will make themselves obsolete big time.

Yup, China will absolutely use technology to enhance themselves and America(west in general) will do the same, just to keep up, even if theocrats object.

I disagree completely. You’re assuming rational actors. Have you seen American politics? It’s a disaster. Also, maybe some people don’t want their entire life revolved around AI, and with the social upheaval automation from narrow AI is about to rapidly cause from job replacement, who do you think they will come for? I say it’s very likely

I have seen American politics. It is not a disaster, at least not to the level that the rest of the world is.

USA will not ban research, that is not how we do it here. China for example banned Bitcoin. USA didn't. The way USA will deal with Bitcoin will probably be through taxes. Same for AI. I can see first Europe (USB-C example) or China (Bitcoin example) banning AI research.

USA is the land of the free, even if very regulated or taxed.

We don’t even think climate change is real here, we don’t act rationally. The issue will be politicized via populism, expect severe backlash
