None of this is science or evidence based, it's political theater. The labs do this because the government has made it clear it will intervene if they don't say the line. I suspect most of the people at the labs think AI watermarking is a retarded approach.
The people that make the laws and the people complaining about AI don't know or care about the reality of the situation nearly as much as they care about being re-elected and feeling good about their social posture.

Well, the negative effects of AI are already visible, and I'm not talking about job losses here. I'm talking about AI hallucination, about mass generated spam, about AI-assisted scamming (apparently Indian scammers are shifting to use AI systems [1]) and about political manipulation.
Governments usually are slow to react, but eventually they do react, when a technology poses more issues than it is worth.
