There may be space for a good law somewhere in this area. But you should be really leery of outlawing a particular kind of computation, unless you're cool with thoughtcrime, because that's what it will by default become over time, just as inflation made laws with hardcoded dollar figures become quite different without ever changing the law.

Same with AI, today's reality is that machines are still completely incapable of thought. But anticipatory I would still think there is a difference because constant surveillance would still bind your time.
