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.
It's not just "the government won't let it go away." Users won't let it go away.
I find AI to be incredibly useful for running my coding agent, for example. I run it myself on a local machine. Every AI company on Earth could go bankrupt tomorrow and I'd keep on chugging away with it. Lots of other enthusiasts and smaller companies making use of it would do likewise.
