Food in general is regulated for very good reasons. Food borne diseases account for maybe a million death every year in the world, mostly from countries that don't have such regulations. And without going as far as death, even mild food poisoning can be quite disruptive. Milk in particular is critical because we give it to children who are the most vulnerable.
If anything needs to be regulated more than anything else, it is milk!

Three words: glue on pizza.
Honestly a failure of imagination on your part if you think AI can’t cause significant harm. Except you don’t even have to imagine anymore.
You can't think of any possible ways that AI, under unanticipated but not unprecedented circumstances (similar to those in which an appliance might malfunction), might cause significant harm?
