I'm pretty sure Eliezer commented publicly on this and I think his answer was that it doesn't make sense to outlaw AI research.

10 free karma to whoever can find the right link.

The question was, "Is independent AI research likely to continue to be legal?". What Eliezer considers a reasonable policy isn't necessarily related to what government considers a reasonable policy. Though I think the answer to both questions is the same, for unrelated reasons.

AI as a Positive and Negative Factor in Global Risk (section 10) discusses this. More obsoletely, so do CFAI (section 4) and several SL4 posts (e.g. this thread from 2003).
