If this law were in place and enforced, Altman would already be facing multiple felony charges for the Hugging Face incident alone.

It also begs the question of "If the CEO isn't culpable, then who?"

Corporate judgements are a joke outside the EU's X% of revenue approach.

Current US law provides the individuals who benefit with corporate liability coverage. I.e. Altman personally gets to keep OpenAI's upside, but if it fucks something up that liability is only on the company.

That's an insane risk optimization environment to put in place for something scaling fast.

At minimum, US prosecution (at the state level, because Trump Co are idiots) for breaking existing laws is needed.
