I made a similar suggestion like this some time ago on the previous board. It was a bit better received.
Instead of an implant it was a brainwash helmet sort of deal.
And instead of the AI laws, it was a sentence or few sentences that would be set via some computer.
The helmet would be card locked to security or head IDs. When wearing the helmet it would say that this helmet is really uncomfortable, giving you some incentive to remove the helmet if you come across an ID that lets you do that.
It could also be reprogrammed if someone messed with the computer. Probably also emaggable to erase the message, give it a new random message or unlocking it.
And it would be better if only the HoS/captain had access to it and not the roboticist.
Ideally whoever is in charge of putting the helmet on a captured traitor would go to the computer and write in something like "Your loyalty lies with Nanotransen." And that should be enough for the traitor to not act like a traitor anymore, but still have a high chance of being able to return to traitoring.
Either by finding an ID, getting emagged, or a fellow traitor putting his own agenda in the brainwash computer. The computer of course being off limits to the AI.
And lets say the helmet also ran on batteries to add another way for the traitor to snap out of it.
As unfunny it might seem to force a traitor into obedience, it could lead to situations where people see the helmet and put trust in you and your rewritten loyalty before you do terrible things to them.
