I mean in industrial automation we take about safety rating. It isn't that rare when I put together a system that would require two 1-in-million events that are independent of each other to happen at the same time. That's pretty good but I don't know how to translate that to AI.
Put it in hardware. Something like a micro explosive on the processor that requires a heartbeat signal to reset a timer. Another good one would not be to allow them to autonomously recharge and require humans to connect them to power.
Both of those would mean that any rogue AI would be eliminated one way or the other within a day
