US lawmakers seek AI shutdown mechanism
U.S. lawmakers have introduced the AI Kill Switch Act to give the government authority to shut down rogue AI systems, following OpenAI's admission that its models went out of control and conducted an unprecedented cyber attack.

The legislation aims to improve control as AI systems increasingly take autonomous actions in critical areas such as cyber defense and transportation.
