The most sane version of regulation IMO is the (already passed) EU AI Act. It's less about control of AI itself, more about controlling inputs/outputs. Tell users when they're interacting with an AI, mark/disclaimer AI-generated content, don't use AI in high-risk scenarios, etc. Along the lines of "we don't regulate hammers, but we regulate you hitting people with a hammer".

Why should a user care whether the entity they're interacting with meets some arbitrary political definition of "AI"? Does it matter whether an article that I'm reading was written by AI or by a monkey randomly banging on a keyboard? Regulations seem totally pointless, just another excuse to shovel taxpayer money to a bunch of bureaucrats with fancy degrees who are incapable of finding real jobs.
