Outlawing it is a very dangerous aim, because outlawing it completely will enable other countries to out-compete us, and a outlawing it completely is right next to "outlaw it for normal people, but allow companies to exploit it for profit" on the dart board of possibilities.
Better path all around is "allow everyone to use AI and establish strong social safety nets and move towards enabling people to work less".
Haven't I been hearing that since the rise of computing and the internet? And it's probably been around even longer. Seems like this sort of stuff only gets going when a lot of workers start putting up a fight.
But hey, maybe 41% jobs lost might be the tipping point. Because people aren't just gonna sit on the sidewalk and starve.
If AI is outlawed, only outlaws will have AI
