The issue is that AI has made it so much easier that more people are doing it. The AI cat is out of the bag, but it could do with some tangible legislation

So, like what kind of legislation? All the problematic uses of AI, already have legislation against them. I don't see any viable "anti-AI" legislation, just enforce the one already in place. Meanwhile, strengthening prevention and responsibility rules, would benefit all aspects of society, including the uses of AI.

Limiting what that data can be trained on for one. No pictures of kids for example. For porn specific AIs, don't allow users to upload custom images. That is just asking for revenge porn or CSAM. Companies clearly can't be trusted to put in safeguards for themselves, so I guess it is time for legislation.

No pictures of kids for example

Meaning, an AI blind to kids.

Keep in mind that training data is required for both recognition, and generation. Legislating that kids "It doesn't look like anything to me", leads to things like:

Cars that don't stop for "It doesn't look like anything to me"
Spam filters that don't stop porn, or gore, or both, of "It doesn't look like anything to me"
Photo storage that erases empty photos which "It doesn't look like anything to me"

For porn specific AIs, don't allow users to upload custom images

Not sure how you think AIs work, but anyone can train a LoRa on their own laptop, no "uploading" to anywhere required.

Companies clearly can't be trusted to put in safeguards for themselves, so I guess it is time for legislation.

Cool, and I agree with that. I just think that example is horrific (for starters, it would make Lemmy's anti-CSAM filter illegal, since it's trained on pictures of kids).

Got any other proposals?
