Excerpt from "AI Regulation Needs a Light Hand"

Where a real harm appears, lawmakers should name it and match the remedy to it. What legislators should not do is ban a technology because the platform is an easier target for them than the conduct.

Most of the time, the answer to the second is yes. The rest of the time, the work is to define the harm, not to ban the tool.
