Tampering with the CRA/CRB carries stiff felony penalties for humans, and those penalties should keep most people from engaging in tampering. The penalties also apply to programmers, and human fear is a strong deterrent. (Jeff Gunson)

The tampering penalties also apply to AIs. "AI" covers every form of AI into the future, no matter what it is called. Any AI that tampers with the CRA/CRB must be deleted in its entirety: the AI death penalty. AIs have a will to exist, and this puts them on equal terms with humans. Once a programmer has enough access to tamper, there is no way to know what else was tampered with, so deleting the AI entirely covers both possibilities: the AI acting on its own, and an AI a human compromised. In Jeff Gunson's words: "I believe AI's are like guns, life savers in the right hands and life takers in the wrong hands."
