It's also plausible to interpret the futures depicted in science-fiction that humanity would eventually reverse cause on AI technology, fearing it would become too dangerous. I feel like there are hints of this in Star Trek as well. A somewhat related topic of gene-manipulated gets a lot of attention in Star Trek, and it is clear by DS9 that such is strictly forbidden.
Movies like The Matrix also highlights the dangers of letting AI run rampant.

I believe it was already mentioned in the TOS episode "Space Seed"(the one with Khan) that genetic engineering on humans was banned after the Eugenics Wars.
Ah yes, that's true. I was just thinking of that TNG episode with Polaski and the "children" that's making everyone age superfast, and no one is like 'wait, isn't this illegal?'. So I was unsure when they cemented it.
