Yes - CFAA in the US. The problem is that governments & the elite investors backing these AI companies (espl. the current US government whose family & friends are investors) see the potential of using these capabilities for their own benefit against others and for their personal enrichment - so no one with power actually wants to take action against these companies at the cutting edge even though the laws allow them to do. This is also a way to threaten & trap AI companies - either they give the governments & elite investors what they want or they will have the book selectively thrown at them and end up in prison or losing their company.
