With all the problems AI is currently causing, and has the potential to cause in the future, I'm somewhat mystified by the complete lack of government action.  We need strong laws to keep AI in check.  Or, we need government programs to be compensate for the huge societal upheaval. (e.g. If everyone is going to be put out of work by AI, we need something to compensate for that.  If AI is going to use up all the electricity, then we need a government plan for that.)

And yet what is our government doing?  Nothing.

Prediction:

Future historians are going to judge the complete lack of government action on AI to be one of the big failures of our age.
