Some features are also entirely hidden and not able to be turned on in certain regions or locales. This should be handled here too

AIFeature.isAllowed -> hide setting
AIFeature.isManagedByPolicy -> render as usual (show correct state), but disable

This issue is Verified as fixed in our latest Nightly as well as our latest Beta 148.0b9, however there are few inconsistencies with the settings from a few features.

If we use this policies file:
{
"policies": {
"TranslateEnabled": false,
"GenerativeAI": {
"Enabled": false,
"Chatbot": false,
"TabGroups": false,
"LinkPreviews": false,
"Locked": true
}
}
}

The "Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups" is displayed in about:preferences as disabled. (Bug 2012998)
The Translations settings are completely hidden.
The Link Previews are still enabled except for the Ai part (Key points in link previews) which is also hidden. (Bug 2013001)
The PDF Js Alt Text feature has no policy that could block it.
All these features are indeed blocked by policies except for the Alt Text feature and I will mark this issue as Verified as fixed.

I also tested a few non EN* builds and the Link Previews, PDF Alt Text and Smart Tab groups are hidden from the AI controls page.
