There's no need for a new crime when we already have reckless conduct, namely, "conduct that creates a substantial and unjustifiable risk of harm to others and involves a conscious disregard of, or indifference to, that risk".

Whoever prompted the agent, whoever supplied the means, whoever knew but didn't say anything.
Also whoever monitoring these agents, in this case not monitoring. This "Who is responsible" dilemma is so stupid. If I gave the AI tool means to kill a person but I did not tell it directly to use it and it uses it anyway then I am responsible for it.
The CEOs. They have full control and make all the decisions. Charging anyone else would not stop anything.
Why not both? (all people involved)
> The CEOs. They have full control
They lost control long ago.
‘It wasn’t us, it was a bug in the software’ used to be the defense for bad code. Then it became the defense for self-driving cars. Now it’s being used for AI cyber attacks.
