I can understand why banks got bailed out by the US gov in 2008, but why would a government feel the need to bail out AI labs?
I hope you are not going to say, "to avoid a global recession or depression caused by the popping of the AI bubble". That would be unnecessary and harmful (in its second-order effects), and governments do have advisors who are competent enough in economics to advise against such a move.
