Ai isn't going away... It's like a nuclear arms race. The government won't let it go away... They need it and will do anything locally and globally to solidify ai (and digitizing life) as the modern foundation of governing.
If people don't want ai, they should be completely boycotting their nations. Votes don't reach this level of need. "Need" as in the government would even sacrifices its own people to reach the goal. For all we know it's the whole reason America had trump as president.... So they could distract and implement the social and psychological strategy of easing into the upcoming modern foundation.
