For the most shortsighted of reasons, sure. They need a way feed the rich who got them elected as they have no coherent ideas about economic growth or infrastructure. I'm thinking back as far as over 20 years ago when cable was marketed as being the natural successor to telco solutions when they even then were promising 1 Gig downloads and downplaying DSL. "Just run more coaxial". It would have been cheaper to deploy upgraded xDSL in "hindsight". And please note how many of this current administration were either on some board or worked in some capacity at a cable company or internet company 20 to 25 years ago.

Important to mention our electrical grids are straining under the demand. I am guessing a comfortable amount of homes with AC running constantly is about 20% to 30% meaning 70% to 80% are supposed to do without? That same ratio of people with cars to people without will eliminate traffic jams. My point is the world economy is designed to service about that same ratio of haves to have nots.

There laws to guide every keystroke a person executes on a computer. There are some laws and almost unlimited standards to describe every persistent result of input. There are well defined laws, standards, licenses to define how/where/why those persistent archives are to be used. So, there is very little question about how artificial intelligence "should" be used. Just like we know how a human being "should" be treated, but we keep resolving to slavery, rape, drowning refugees, wars because some people have decided actual morals are only for the poor.
