I think we have already safety mechanisms for human interaction: (1) We have human ethics, where we teach good values in school, and also parents are expected to relay good values; (2) We have laws and mechanisms to improve safety and responsibility -- bullying has consequences for the bully if found out. I think we need at least similar systems in AI. That's not to say they're ideal however.
In fact, because we have full control over the creation of AI, i.e. we want to the position of Gods, we have extra responsibility. Literally how their mind is architectured is up to us, it's up to us to imbue things like compassion that most humans have instinctively, and up to us to imbue things like values and ethics that we have adopted culturally.
From Orbital's "You Lot":
"You are becoming Gods
There's a new master of creation, and it's you
(...)
D'you think you are ready for that much power?
You lot? You lot?
(...)
Go on, hands up, hands up anyone who thinks you've got it right
Yeah, there's always one I can see you
If you want the position of God, then you must accept the responsibility"
