Most of the current effects are due to AI hype, not due to AI itself. Regulations are trying to get ahead of AI, the reason it tries that is due to AI hype. Same with unions fighting against AI etc. Maybe that hype turns true, but if all AI development plateaued today and no new improvements were made to it then that AI's impact on the world would be very minimal. A useful tool for professionals, but not much more than that.
