I think there does need to be some notification from the US Justice Dept to AI companies to the effect of, "If your robot hacks into other organizations, you will be held liable for its actions." That will "slow down" things as much as they need to be slowed.

What's the incentive for this notification? No-one benefits from this. GDP goes down, US get less power in the race, etc. There is literally 0 incentive for anyone who is in power to do this

Organizations that don't get hacked, potentially losing data, costing large sums and money, and inconveniencing customers. They benefit. Remember them?

1) There has been no "loss" of data, it's sometimes been copied, etc, but no loss for anyone that somehow affect anything. It's not like OpenAI is doing ransomware attacks on the companies.
2) Customers don't really seem to care. There has been no major protest in any country over personal information getting leaked, it doesn't affect most people on a personal level so it just doesn't matter.

Various congresspersons are already making a huge stink about so-called AI safety. This is a way for Trump administration to appease them, and it's really just advising that laws will be enforced for AI companies as much as anyone else.
Unless you think AI companies should be excused even from obeying the law, because that slows them down too much, which is kind of ridiculous
