The convicts might be OK with this as a productivity tool (isolation, exercise periods) given high speed internet access and loads of computer gear. They had better hurry while the sentence for white collar crime is a resort spa with gates.

Oh, and conjugal visits.

WITH SEX ROBOTS.

Good thing for the criminals, prison doesn't exist in 20 years if they're successful and the doomers are right.

Paranoid delusion.

If someone intends to engineer an AI which causes mass murder or substantially disrupts critical infrastructure they can get a 20 year sentence. Same as trying to build a nuclear weapon.

Let us assume this goes through. China and other countries are unlikely to enforce it or extradite.

However well-intentioned, unilateral disarmament is always a sucker's bet.
