π Who should control the AI shutdown switch?
AI systems are becoming more autonomous, and Microsoft says humans need a way to stop them if something goes wrong. π
Brad Smith says the shutdown capability should exist at three levels: the company that creates the model, the cloud provider running it, and the systems controlling AI agents.
The idea is simple: if an AI can make decisions or take actions on its own, there should also be a reliable way for humans to interrupt it.
Microsoft has also backed independent AI safety evaluators and is developing rules designed to keep its models under human control. π€π
The bigger question is no longer just how powerful AI can become, but who gets the final OFF switch.
