Any government authoritarian intervention in AI is a joke. The US has a greatly diluted sense of relevance. AI research is international and restrictions will only make the USA irrelevant. Even the names you think of as American are actually funding advancements coming from other countries, most of them in Germany and Asia. I’ve read several white papers on current AI research recently, none were from US based schools or academics. The USA is simply not relevant in some imperial nonsense narrative. AI is a vital military technology. Limiting it through Luddite isolationism will reduce the experience pool massively, and push the research further into places where fresh economic growth is happening without regressive stagnation and corruption of toxic consolidation of wealth.
