An interesting and somewhat unstated theme of Dune is that it’s set in a post-AI world. The implication is that humanity barely survived destruction and warnings about AI are enshrined in religious texts. If one’s goal is to stop AI, passing laws won’t work. You need to make it religious.

"“Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” “‘Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind,’” Paul quoted." (Frank Herbert, Dune)
