Can you name a single technology that massively boosted productivity but was regulated at a global scale successfully?

Internet has tons of regulation. Pretty much all of chemistry. Try to buy some radioactive material. Copyright when it came to printing books. You know international law and treaties exist? There is this whole thing called patents that regulates new technology. Obviously AI will be also heavily regulated - what are you smoking, my friend.

In fact it might get regulated into oblivion. Look at nuclear technology, people thought it would be powering the globe by now. It has not. Not because of industrial hurdles, but simply from fear and associated regulations.
