That is the thing! You see, the question raised here is how any one country can regulate and judiciate a technology when it also has the power to wreak havoc in our own backyards.

The only thing, from a moral point of view, is first to check our own uses and growth, and only then can we be able to regulate and catch our adversarial nations if they go beyond the line and can impact homeland security.

This is the same as the advent of Nuclear technology. Back when we first developed nuclear weapons, within four years of our creation, Russia developed its own. Fast forward to a few decades ahead, several other nations developed nukes as well. So, if I may ask, who gave others the leading light and inspiration to do that in the first place?

And worst of all, we are the only nation in the world who have used nuclear warheads practically and killed hundreds of thousands of people - some are still reeling from their effects.

Therefore, we cannot ever claim that we are doing this for the defense of our great country. It is in fact more of a fight to become "who is the real lord" rather than safety, something that will eventually become the reason for our collective demise. And the same fear I now have with the limitless destructive possibilities of AI.

I am quite sure many of my fellow Americans must have the same fear as I do.
