AI is a computer program. People can run things called AIs on any piece of computer hardwar.

So, the demand to "regulate AI" quickly turns into a demand to regulate all computers.

BTW: The only way to regulate an AI is with another more powerful AI. So, the demand to regulate AI will eventually break down into the creation of a AI that seeks control of all hardware under the altruistic notion that it is simply protecting the world from an evil.
