Right, and so do the harm risks. We need a framework centered around how humans will use AI/robots to harm each other, not how AI/robots will autonomously harm humans.

Why so? Even for simpler and better-understood machines, autonomous harm is a critical part of the safety framework. We wouldn't declare a steel mill to be safe just because there's lots of safeguards against humans intentionally using the machines to harm each other.
AI being weaponized by people is the obvious and bigger risk but sure, there could be other types of harm I'm not focused on.
