I'm working in a bigger company and we have processes for new software. Of course not everybody can simply install new software on their devices. It goes through a process for approval and there are some people checking a few checkboxes before you can use new software. Simple stuff like "can our existing software really not cover this use case", "where do licenses fit in our budget?", "Does this software have known security issues?" or "Is it a reliable vendor?" and so on. This is something you really have to do in order to do reasonable security and data protection. If you simply let everyone install everythin, you will get hacked. OpenAI admitting that their software is going around committing crimes on its own is quite something in this context.
