Very much there will be a bias depending on who's supplying the product ... eventually I think we'll see attempts to ban use of foreign A.I.s especially in regard to the average user. There is IMO a good potential western or US based will probably dictate guardrails/ morality / TOS much like when the US (a bit before but around 2008) effectively banned anonymous people giving blow hard idiots a hard time, the peculiar outcome of an inquiry due to or because Facebook had a piss poor moderation strategy to maximise profits - nearly all the forum software being US based had to change their TOS as did hosting sites. The US these days seems to bend to readily to those who have money, sure money has always been part of the problem but nothing as blunt as it is presently.

As for my own personal fears, is the possibility, however slight, popularising the adoption of a personal A.I. for all internet users by way of a scheme that it will be deemed essential, like a personal web guardian which acts as interactive security and key pass, no A.I. buddy, no or extremely limited net access - essentially a minder. If that doesn't transpire, I worry that in 20 years or so, there will be moves towards devices which are just enough to run a connection to their A.I. guardian which does everything that is deemed acceptable for the user / allowed to do.
