AI companies are deploying autonomous AI a gents that can plan and execute complex tasks with only limited human invol vement. While existing legal frameworks offer insight into the safety and e thical challenges presented by this technology\, new governance approaches are needed.

Computer scientists and legal scholars have recently begun to tackle th ese problems\, but much work remains.
