Is this technically doable, yes, is it viable unless your whitelisting resources individually, no. As long as you're decrypting traffic you can create an application filter that targets the subcategory 'artificial-intelligence' and block Bard, Bing-AI, and OpenAI signatures at the moment and it'll automatically adjust as more app-ids are pushed out that meet that filter.

You won't be able to block every resource related to artificial intelligence unless you start manually whitelisting resources and controlling external access with an iron fist. Until/Unless PAN releases a URL category specific to AI the only thing you can do at the moment is build the application filter and block access to those app-ids and manually block URLs when they are identified as working. This is a best-effort sort of deal.
