The net result was the various law enforcement agencies declaring, at the behest of the billionaire donor class heavily invested in Hollywood film studios, that making copies of movies was a new kind of crime against humanity significantly worse than mere murder, billions of man-hours wasted sitting through unskippable FBI warnings on video tapes and DVDs, and no meaningful impact on the number of bootleg movies being sold on the streets of New york, not to even mention Hong Kong or Mumbai.

I think a better example is the ongoing contest of virus versus anti-virus.

Criminals are already using AI to aid in developing computer attacks.
So AI must be developed to defend against these attacks.
We now have AI available to detect deepfake videos, AI image
manipulation and AI generated texts.
As the military and criminals develop more aggressive AI tactics, then
more aggressive defence AI will be developed.
I see this contest driving AI research and development in the coming years.
