> the idea that you can just ban AI from certain settings is a fantasy because there’s no technical way to actually guarantee enforcement.

By that token bans on illegal drugs are fantasy. Whereas in fact, enforcement doesn't need to be guaranteed to be effective.

There may be little technical means to distinguish at the moment. But could that have something to do with lack of motivation? Let's see how many "AI" $$$ suddenly become available to this once this law provides the incentive.

I think you have this exactly right. They are mostly enforced against the poor and political enemies.

Well considering how ineffective the War on Drugs has been - is that really a great analogy?

    Relative to no war on drugs? Who knows.

    • Has there ever been a single person who wants an illegal drug that couldn’t get one because it was illegal?

      Just a quick Google search g estimates that less than 3% of drugs are intercepted by the government.
