This is a systemic problem that we cannot leave to the good graces of private companies. When thinking about regulations, we should focus centrally on how much autonomy we give these systems. A chatbot that answers a question poses one set of risks. An agent that can browse the internet, execute code, obtain credentials, move money or operate critical infrastructure poses another. The principle I would propose is simple: Autonomy should expand only as our ability to monitor and control it expands. [...] And it means building into the basic architecture a way for humans to always have the ability to observe and control the model. The mantra should be: No autonomy without accountability — to humans.
