At some point AI will be more regulated than it is today.  Furthermore, I believe that most parts of the American economy, once they are regulated, end up overregulated.

Thus it is likely that the AI sector will, at some point, end up overregulated.

Given that reality, perhaps the AI sector should be underregulated today.  After all, overregulation will have decades, maybe centuries, to catch up and even the ledger.

Many regulatory issues can be considered within this framework.  You can think that AI is “underregulated today”, in the static sense of that term, and still not favor additional regulation right now.  You might prefer to keep it underregulated for some while to come.
