An idea that I've had in the past was playing a game of 20 Questions with the AI, since the game of 20 Questions has probably been played so many times that every possible sequence of answers has come up at least once, which is evidence that no sequence of answers is extremely dangerous.

It's not the sequence of answers that's the problem -- it's the questions. You'll be safe if you can vet the questions to ensure zero causal effect from any sequence of answers, but such questions are not interesting to ask almost by definition.
