Don't worry, they'll still regulate AI under the guise of protecting kids, even though their real goal is something else:

Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.

Okay but also those hearings weren't about protecting children, they were about persecuting subcultures that question traditional authority

Again I stress, there is no history of anaphylaxis in my family, at all, to any substance. My child had no nut allergy.

I had a family member tell me I needed to *wash my lips* between eating my lunch (A PB&J) and handling my baby because I "might kiss her and my peanut butter lips will touch her skin". They were extremely upset that I wouldn't listen and said I was risking my child's life for my selfishness.

The biggest parenting lesson I wish I could reach back and teach my past self is that when it comes to parenting, everyone else's opinions aside from you and your partner should matter exactly zero because everyone is wrong about almost everything.

Yep. The important part isn't that you TAKE ethics class, it's what you take away from it and what kind of person you are. Ethics knowledge is a tool just like all other knowledge.

Peter Thiel at an award speech: "I'd like to thank Plato, St Thomas Aquinas, and most importantly Ayn Rand, for the ethical framework that taught me being a billionare is a sign of merit and that poverty is a personal moral failure that should be punished."

I always chuckle at "Philosophy majors should be more ethical than anyone".

Nothing challenges your moral center quite like learning 12 different ethical paradigms and having them all to reach for when you want to delude yourself into why the thing you want is ethical "If you look at it like..."
