    I think its pretty easy to solve these problems: Whenever an AI agent commits a crime, the CEO is held personally accountable, as if they'd committed it themselves.

      This has been litigated endlessly with guns. The ceo of Smith & Wesson is not personally responsible for what people do with their guns.

        But OpenAI didn't just make the gun, they're also the ones wielding it. Imagine the Smith & Wesson CEO himself was negligent with his own personal gun.

          "Our agents broke out in a mass-shooting incident leaving 15 dead, we swear we'll make our systems stronger tomorrow"

            We’re pausing gun research until we’re confident it’s safe
