They are somewhat self regulated, as they can cause permament damage to the company that releases them, and they are meant for general consumers without any training, unlike table saws that are meant for trained people.

An example is the first Microsoft bot that started to go extreme rightwing when people realized how to make it go that direction. Grok had a similar issue recently.

Google had racial issues with its image generation (and earlier with image detection). Again something that people don't forget.

Also an OpenAI 4o release was encouraging stupid things to people when they asked stupid questions and they just had to roll it back recently.

Of course I'm not saying that that's the real reason (somehow they never say that the problem is with performance for not releasing stuff), but safety matters with consumer products.
