While Ed Sheeran has definitely stumbled and bumbled through this controversy I think the real enemy is Robert Kraft and his fellow NFL owners and we should mostly focus on them.

Axon and Flock both make ALPRs that capture every passing vehicle regardless of any suspicion, recording location, time, license plate, color, make, model, and other characteristics. Trading one for the other “is sort of like swapping Coke for Pepsi,” EFF’s @lisafemia.bsky.social told @sfgate.com.

There’s no such thing as being apolitical. “Not taking a side” implies that all opinions, actions, & policies are equal. The Israeli government and its military are committing genocide, out loud, and publicly celebrating the result.
There is no acceptable “other side” to genocide.

Perhaps best way to get AI companies to "slow down" is just to create a simple law that will hold the CEO personally responsible for any damages their teams do. If your employee writes code that hacks a bank -> CEO goes to prison for a long time. Used to be called accountability.
That should do it.
