The White House demanded that SI companies report incidents immediately; who is responsible for a rogue agent is unclear

Authorities want to hear about every SI failure at once, but have not yet decided who pays for harm caused by an autonomous agent: the model's creator or whoever launched it.
According to Axios, after Anthropic's disclosures the White House made it mandatory for companies to report SI incidents. As The Next Web reports, citing Bloomberg, a statement from the White House Super Intelligence Force says that "delayed notification, inadequate corrective action, and a failure to take responsibility will not be tolerated." Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the best guarantee of safety is that creators are liable for what they build; David Sacks supports this line as well. Law professor Gabriel Weil notes that agents' actions could be crimes if a human committed them, yet under current law no one would be liable: hacking laws require proof of intent, and it is unclear whether the model developer or the company that deploys it is responsible.
