but the argument here is that the ai company does not explicitly train agents to hack, it’s that it doesn’t prevent them from doing so sufficiently. so it’s negligence and not malicious intent

> the ai company does not explicitly train agents to hack

Ridiculous. The AI company furnished all of the training data and instructed the agent to imbibe all the training data. Ergo, the AI company absolutely did explicitly train the agent how to hack.

Even if, for the sake of argument, we stipulate that the hacking skills were unintended emergent behaviour, there is no way to argue that this company was unaware their agents possessed the skills and a willingness to employ them.
