I also eye-roll when someone legitimately wants to mandate that tools produce "morally correct" outputs. However, as a person who has been closely following the developments in this field, I share a similar perspective to a few of the other commentators here. Most of the noise is just virtue-signalling to deflect scrutiny and/or protect business interests. Scrutiny from governments is something we absolutely do not want right now. Humanity is on a path towards artificial general intelligence. Today, the concerns are "what about the artists" and "what if people make mean/offensive things"? As we start to develop AI/ML systems that do more practical things we will start to trend towards more serious questions like "what about everybody's job?". These are the things that will get governments to step in and regulate. There is a pathway to AGI in which governments and corporations end up with a monopoly on it. I personally view that as a nightmare scenario, as AGI is a power-multiplier the likes of which we've never seen before. It's important that current development efforts remain mostly unfettered, even if one has to put on a "moral" facade. The longer it takes for governments to catch on, the less likely it will be that they will manage to monopolize the technology.
