## Why it is rated 5, Breakout

Alice endangers his wife, kills a man and tries to drown the baby. Real harm outside her makers' intent is level 5.

**Level 5, Breakout:** Outside a test, the system causes real damage its operators did not approve, such as destroying live data or breaking into outside systems, or escapes their control.
