This reads like the classic tension between capability and control. Governments want maximum flexibility in a crisis, while builders worry about reliability, misuse, and long term consequences if the tech is pushed beyond what it can safely do. The hard part is that both sides are right in different ways. Advanced tools can help with analysis and planning today, but once you remove human judgment entirely or scale them into domestic monitoring, the risks change faster than policy can adapt. The real issue is not access to the technology, it is defining clear boundaries before the technology outpaces the rules meant to govern it.
