2. Imposing stiff fines for AI models collecting sensitive personal data without consent.
    
3. Restricting companies from making AI technology available to children or advertising it to them.

4. Banning the import of AI-related technology from China and prohibiting American companies from assisting China's development of AI.
    
5. Requiring licenses to create generative AI models.
