#2Is it time to label current AI stuff by its real name - statistics?

#3This assumes the US is ahead of China in image recognition. Is there any justification for that?

#4Bernstein's case established that he had a First Amendment right to publish source code under the law in effect at the time; he argued, successfully, that this was the form in which his research was communicated to other researchers. He won his case, but it took many years, and of course court cases are political processes; they may be decided differently when different judges have been appointed to the bench. It seems that machine-vision researchers may now need to make the same argument. It's probably worthwhile to save the neural network parameter vectors you currently have access to somewhere outside the US while that is still legal.

#5They say it doesn't apply to Canada. What prevents a Chinese company to open a business in Canada and get access to US A.I software without the license?

#9Because this is so incredibly broad, there's a good chance that >20% of people here will be working on something that falls under this at some point in the next decade.
While we patiently await for a HN user (or, let's be honest, one of the ancient cryptologist-lawyers who come out of the woodwork every time something like this happens and sue the government) to fix this by suing the government on free speech grounds, don't forget that git, mercurial, fossil, bazaar and more are all decentralized, can't actually be censored at scale, and can be effectively hosted and mirrored trivially.
I actually think it's a well-intentioned law, and it's not like it'll harm most people, but it's still something that should be stood against on principle.
