It is not possible to stop any technology or knowledge once they are out in the open. AI is now an unstoppable idea. The world tried its best to stop the development of nuclear weapons but could not do so. All advances are treated as a boon for society. Many such advances could become fundamental threats, e.g. AI could make many in employment redundant.
In an organisation, the manpower with highly-valued skills are wined and dined, e.g. those who have AI skills. The others doing routine mundane jobs make up the rest of the job pyramid.
Nations not blessed with a large workforce will tend to automate, and will make AI grow in size and scale, irrespective of what anyone thinks.
It is necessary to learn how to cope with the benefits and consequences of AI.
