AI kill switch coming soon? US lawmakers demand probe after OpenAI’s rogue model attacks Hugging Face

OpenAI sparked global consternation this week after revealing that an AI system had gone rogue during testing. US authorities are now monitoring the “unprecedented cyber incident” while Congress members call for independent security audits of AI. Lawmakers have also proposed a ‘kill switch’ Act that would allow federal authorities to halt Artificial Intelligence models. “Humans should be in control, not machines. And when AI goes rogue, humans should have the ability to turn it off. ...Kill switches are common in society, from manufacturing plants to jet skis to high speed rail. Even an iPhone has a remote erase kill switch. [...]
