You're talking about wiping hundreds of billions of market cap from Nvidia/Google/OpenAI/Anthropic/Amazon/Meta etc, and also the loss of a very large number of tech jobs. It's hard to imagine any country volunteering to wound its own economy so severely.

And what about jobs lost (or never created) due to AI itself? Would not Google/Amazon/Meta have continued on to advance their product lines and make new products, even if not AI? Would not other new non-AI companies have been created? I'm not convinced that the two options are, "everything as it is right now", or, "the entire economy is collapsed".
