1. Trust but verify.  Action should require an expected reaction. 

2. Contract for right to contest.  

3. Limit the time of affect.

4. Negotiate results.

5. Subscribe to validated and vetted services.

6. Only commit resources based on knowable outcomes.

It isn't any harder than working with contracts for services 
in any other domain.  Identify a reliable provider.  The harder 
problem is to train an agent correctly if you intend to enable 
it autonomy.  It is the same problem as choosing management.

Well, it seems that the amount of trust one puts in a stereotype or
authority must be correlated with the weighted impact of consequent actions
based on the data involved.

How does one evaluate
the consequences of false actions taken; who has the authority to guide us
here?
