Regarding implies it is thinking, judging, considering. Which implies culpability, which removes culpability from whoever is piping the output of these models into CPU instructions.

Language choice is incredibly important here, especially as the rules are being written. Even calling it AI (a battle that appears to be lost) is an anthropomorphism I am not comfortable with. We don't call lawnmowers "artificial groundskeepers".
