Looks to me like right now, there isn't any limitation. AI is getting more and more invasive. I'm afraid to write on my computer because AI is on my computer, whether I want it or not.

I don't go take others' artwork and then "produce artwork" and claim I created it. That's AI.

I've always had it a different way: any company* whose highest-compensated employee** earns 100 or more times what the least-paid employee (based on working 2000 hours a year, or 50 weeks x 40 hours) gets nothing: no subsidies, no tax breaks.
*incl religious institutes
**incl parent companies

Second, if you think USA politics doesn't affect Canadians, I don't know how to tell you about how hegemony works.
I totally agree. Stating somebody's opinion is invalid because of their nationality is a pathetic ad hominem.
