You're never going to be able to regulate what a person's computer can run. We've been through this song and dance with cryptography. Trying to keep it out of the hands of bad actors will be a waste of time, effort, and money.

These resources should be spent lessening the impact rather than trying to completely control it.

I fear the humans engaging in such nefarious activities far more than some blob of code being used by humans engaging in such nefarious activities.

Likewise for activities that aren't nefarious too. Whatever fears that could be placed on blobs of code like "AI", are far more merited being placed on humans.

> Congress can and should examine these issues

great, how does that apply to China or Europe in general? Or a group in Russia or somewhere else? Are you assuming every governing body on the surface of the earth is going to agree on the terms used to regulate AI? I think it's a fool's errand.
