Banning AI research wouldn't make much sense... Virtually any automated software (or even a mechanical device) could potentially be classed as AI. Most peoples' cars, in the modern age, hav a form of 'AI' regulating all manner of things in the vehicle, along with GPS functionality. Technological progress would stagnate.
Plus, don't those 'voice pack' things portray ship-based AI? Are they meant to be considered illegal if your pilot uses them?
I could probably write a control script for my CH hardware to control my pip allocation, far better than I can on the fly. All it would take are some simple rules: when boosting or maneuvering, pips to engines; when firing, pips to weapons; otherwise pips to shields. That would not make my CH ProThrottle an artificial intelligence.
When most people talk about AIs, they are talking about genuinely sapient artificial intelligences, not simpler programs that makes decisions based on programmed rules, no matter how complex those rules may be. It's the difference between a chess program, where someone programmed the rules into the game, and a program that
decides that chess looks interesting, looks up the rules on how to play chess, and
then plays a game. Because a chess program can never be anything but a chess program, but an artificial intelligence that
happens to play chess may decide on its own that it can do a better job than humans at farming by killing all the humans because they keep eating the crops.
THAT is the real threat of an AI rebellion in real life: not that they decide humans are a threat, but that they decide that they can accomplish the task that humans gave them better when humans aren't around... or that humans can be used as resources to accomplish that task.
