- An AI “kill switch” could stop, slow or isolate advanced AI systems if they behave dangerously.

- Open-source AI running on outside hardware may remain active even if its original developer tries to shut it down.
- Experts favour multiple safeguards, including constant monitoring, verification barriers and automatic warning systems.
