Suppose lawmakers wanted to craft new AI laws that specifically focus on regulating AI-builds-AI. They might aim to put a temporary pause or moratorium on this specific area of AI development. [...] Give the world a chance to first figure out the AI safety aspects. [...] A key to this type of AI law is that it must be a universal action. Though well-intentioned local efforts might be devised, it is only through collective action that this is going to be functionally realistic and workable.
