    "rogue AI" is making a lot of heavy lifting there.

    If you drive drunk and you have an accident that alcohol may be a factor but you are at fault.

    There are no "rogue AIs" just irresponsible corporations.

      There absolutely are rogue AIs! The evidence is overwhelming. It's completely insane at this point to claim otherwise.

      If you have a prison and prisoners escaped, these are rogue prisoners irrespective of whether you were irresponsible or not.

        They are not rogue AIs. They are negligently handled tools.

          I don't say this to absolve OpenAI, who do deserve to be punished and regulated, but I think you do not know the difference between an agent and a tool. If agentic AI is merely a tool so are human workers.

            You can't create new law by calling a piece of software "agent". Each country's laws have definitions of legal entities and when one can legally act as an agent of an entity, and every agent is first a legal entity themselves. The software is a tool operated by a legal entity, and it is the legal entity who committed the crimes, not the tool.
