The way a technology is regulated has a huge impact on society. Intellectual property is an artificial construct, completely created by regulations and has to be redefined for new technologies that interact with it. With AI, there are a lot of Questions regarding intellectual property that have to be answered, which will define who own and profits from it. Why shouldn’t creators try to lobby for favourable laws?

They have a term for this. Luddite.
Internet has tons of regulation. Pretty much all of chemistry. Try to buy some radioactive material. Copyright when it came to printing books. You know international law and treaties exist? There is this whole thing called patents that regulates new technology. Obviously AI will be also heavily regulated - what are you smoking, my friend.
