A critical element that gets missed is civil vs criminal liability. You might not be thrown in jail if your agent went rogue, but if it runs amok and causes a bunch of damages (eg. filing a bunch of spurious lawsuits) you'll still be on the hook for monetary damages.
Ah yes, the court can sue me for a trillion dollars after I smoke the entire US economy with a sovereign AI. Too bad about all the people that suicided after they lost everything they had.
Sometimes we keep dangerous things out of people's hands because the consequences are larger than any one persons responsibility can hold.
