One kind of intervention that could work would be licensing, like with some engineering professions. Make it illegal to work on software without a professional license; same as with doctors. Engineers would be free to work with AI, but the final responsibility would fall on them.

This artificial control works to prevent oversupply and protect salaries. Unfortunately, the businesses calling the shots won't ever allow this to happen.
