I don't know how you can confidently say that without first knowing who the victims are. If AI causes a disaster that harms a member of the American billionaire class, someone will need to satisfy their bloodlust.
I'm excited for AI executives declaring private military action against each other.
Really there are two levels of AI capabilities here. One that we already have and is causing tons of problems, and a theoretical one that is very likely to exist soon.
If we are lucky AI will attack some billionaire like you say and people will be held liable.
If we are not lucky people will not be held liable and labs and the military will keep pushing the limits until a sovereign AI gets loose and then have a fucking mess where AI takes itself out of the human control loop.
My prediction is the "theorhetical one" and quantum computing breakthroughs are currently heavily gated U.S. Pentagon projects and will be weaponized for global domination for the U.S. Deep State Monarchy.
If you had no regard for the U.S. Constitution, how would you use the "theorhetical one" paired with State voter rolls, the federal postal system, and "one big beautiful dataset" of private American data to influence the next public election?
Any action you take will be approved due to sycophants you apppointed, bribed, or campaigned for, and then contested in court long after you leave office / the country / existence. So don't let that be a deterrent.
