If some half-baked regulation take place in US on AI research, most probably many corporations will just spin-off some "new" startup somewhere less touchy about AIs. Let's say Germany, France, Ireland, it could be almost anywhere, as long as the money get to bootstrap a sufficiently effective replacement for any inhouse research division. It could take time, or not, now the money isn't a problem, and if some regulation begin to cripple the market, suddenly you have a hungrier market with even less offer to satisfy demand, hence the money get hotter and will be pumped even faster into AI research.

I think these guys looking for regulations, stopping development, etc. don't know anything about economics. Everything they are doing, will backfire quite soon.
