If they are a threat to themselves or others, they can be put on a several day watch at a mental facility. 72hrs? 48hrs? Then they aren’t released until they aren’t a threat to themselves or others. They are usually medicated and go through some sort of therapy.

The obvioius cure to this is better education and mental health services. Better education about A.I. will help people understand what an A.I. is, and what it is not. More mentally stable people will mean less mentally unstable people falling into this area. Oversight on A.I. may be necessary for this type of problem, though I think everyone is just holding their breath, hoping it’ll fix itself as it becomes smarter.
