  Is this a tax that domestic companies already had to pay, but foreign companies were exempt from? If so, then I wonder what took them so long.

  Kind of like every other job.

  I don’t see the US restricting AI development. No matter what is morally right or wrong, this is strategically important, and they won’t kneecap themselves in the global competition.
