An interesting take from EA a few days ago:

There's obviously a lot to unpack, but IMO the buried lede - the new idea Thiel is trying to push - is that the "antichrist" wants to regulate AI.

This is of course a persuasion effort by Thiel that tries to do a few things - I don't have a personal opinion, but speculating I assume Thiel is trying to get ahead of something here. We haven't really seen a regulatory push in the mainstream _yet_. On the contrary, there has been a number of legal exemptions. I would bet (60/40) that in the near future we'll see "AI regulation" become a pertinent topic of mainstream discourse.
