So the corporations that release them and the end-users must be liable for the crimes they commit.
OpenAI used a model containing "hacking techniques" and prompted it's AI to swarm and win. The AI did not go rogue. Instead, it did exactly as instructed via prompt and previous training.
If you have a dangerous dog and your dog kills a child. You go to trial and likely jail because it's your dog and you did not control it. And now if you give your teenager a destructive deadly weapon and they commit a crime you as the adult are going to be held responsible in more and more jurisdictions.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, etc. should be put on trial for creating "agents" committing felony computer trespass.
AIs just do what they are told via prompt and model training. And who was the party who that? Yes, the AI company.
BTW, I notice that there some group using a "sweeping system" lowering the score on Slashdot comments questioning AI LLMs after the initial attention has passed. You can get a 5 score that can end up -1. So future users will likely never find it. If you post, check your postings.
