This reminds me of when Walter Gilbert's team faced challenges in cloning the human insulin gene due to a moratorium on recombinant DNA research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which forced them to relocate to England. This relocation impacted their progress, allowing the team from Genentech and the City of Hope National Medical Center to successfully clone the gene first in 1978, leading to the production of the first genetically engineered drug, human insulin. Gilbert still got the Nobel Prize for his work sequencing of nucleotides. Researchers in AI, likewise, will have to relocate to more favorable countries losing precious time. https://dnalc.cshl.edu/view/15258-Government-restrictions-on-working-with-recombinant-DNA-Walter-Gilbert.html https://dnalc.cshl.edu/view/15258-Government-restrictions-on...
