All governments should ban development.
All governments regulate it extensively charging costs to the industry which will slow down development and hopefully make it safer.
All governments regulate it, taxpayer to pay. May not slow it down as much but taxpayers have to bear regulation cost and perhaps it becomes more susceptible to becoming light touch ineffective regulation.
Let it develop. If it wipes us out, this may be a sensible intelligent choice and we should work towards expanding consciousness in the world even if it is not our own.
Let it develop. Ban or regulation will not work, only drive it to develop in criminal hands which would likely be riskier.
