Without international treaty and regulation restricting frontier capabilities globally, any attempt to outlaw open source models will only be as effective as King Canute ordering the tide to turn. Unless the USA fancies bombing those who refuse.
And build the wall, all around.
How would that affect the world?
Much harder to ban if they can run locally
