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

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
