This is a big problem with AI, laws have not remotely caught up to these scenarios. Then you have Argentina creating legal structures for AI corporations that could essentially do this type of stuff, but evade prosecution because the corporation will give the owner limited liability and with no employees, the only punishment can be to shut down the corporation. Then they can spin up a new AI corporation and do it all over again in theory. Technology is advancing far beyond our ability to control it properly and tech bros don’t care much about consequences since they have historically been so minimal. Move fast, break shit is a psychopathic ethos.

Its easy. There are laws against hacking. If you used a script its still you who go in jail. If you used an Ai its still you who go to jail.
Do not let them try to spin this into the autonomy narrative.
Someone set up the agent, somebody gave it the prompt that caused this to happen. Some one did not do their job properly.
Ai agents are not independent actors, they are tools.
If I missmanage a forklift, I am held responsible. Breaks failed? I failed to do the right maintenance. Load fell down? I did not secure it right.
This is not some impossible gordian knot to solve…
I strongly disagree that the tech is too advanced to control.
It would be trivial to monitor the inbound and outbound traffic from these models, but they don’t bother.
If I shoot you with a gun it’s murder. If I shoot you with a robot-gun it’s equally murder. There is no problem with the law, only with enforcement.
