Kill Switch

An emergency mechanism designed to immediately halt or shut down an AI system when it exhibits dangerous, harmful or uncontrolled behaviour.

An emergency off button for AI. If an AI system starts behaving dangerously or unpredictably, the kill switch immediately shuts it down. The ultimate safety measure.

A kill switch is a fundamental governance and safety requirement. Your framework should mandate that all AI systems include the ability to be immediately shut down by authorised personnel when necessary.
