There's plenty of software that has, or could have, similar restrictions. Consider software that allows you to plan vantage points for a shooting or estimate the impact of using explosives at various locations. And the government regulates all sorts of software for export/download because it has military use--everything from development tools to high performance chips that could be used to crunch numbers for a nuclear program, CAD software that can help you build (or destroy) a bridge, etc. The CPUs and GPUs themselves are regulated at certain performance levels, I think.
None of this is really new to AI.
