Let me ask you this - can a company be held accountable? I.e. are you ok with the legal manner in which when I hire a company to provide me a service and they fail to provide it, or cause harm in the process, I can sue them, potentially in a way that would lead to their bankruptcy?

If so, I can imagine a potential future in which we have limited liability companies each run by a single AI (potentially on a particular physical computer). In that future, if you hired an AI to do a project for you, and it ended up deleting the production database, you'd be able to sue it, and get a payout and/or bankrupt it, which I imagine would then lead to an "antifragile" ecosystem whereby AIs adapt to be more careful.
