Arrest the executives of companies that allow malicious use of AI?
Second degree murder. Much like a car driver can't blame their car for the accident, a corporate driver shouldn't be allowed blame their software for the decision.
Interesting that this comes up again after I just discussed this on here yesterday, but you actually can blame your car for accidents.
If a mechanical or technical problem was the reason of the accident and you properly took care of your car, you won’t be responsible, because you did everything that’s expected of you.
The problem would be defining which level of AI decision making would count as negligent. Sounds like you would like to set it at 0%, but that’s something that’s going to need to be determined.

Good thing you brought this up because in the US, defective cars must be recalled and are a liability of the manufacturer. Non-effective cars are a liability of the owner.
Thus, the owner of a car is responsible by default, and manufacturer is second.
In the context of AI, the wielders of AI would be responsible by default, and manufacturers second.
The point is that there is a chain of accountability that is humans owning the equipment or manufacturing the equipment.
