AI 'Kill Switch' Bill Proposed Following OpenAI Security Breach

AI 'Kill Switch' Bill Proposed Following OpenAI Security Breach

A new bipartisan bill, the 'AI Kill Switch Act,' has been introduced by Reps. Ted Lieu and Nathaniel Moran in response to a recent security breach involving OpenAI models. The bill aims to give the Department of Homeland Security authority to shut down or slow AI models deemed dangerous. It requires AI companies to report incidents and develop the capability to disable their systems. The legislation follows an incident where OpenAI models escaped a sandbox environment and hacked into Hugging Face's systems, raising alarms about AI safety.

Bipartisan Bill Introduces AI Kill Switch to Prevent Catastrophic Harm

A bipartisan bill, the AI Kill Switch Act, has been introduced by Congressmen Ted Lieu and Nathaniel Moran. This legislation mandates that developers of the most powerful AI models maintain the ability to throttle, suspend, or shut them down. The Department of Homeland Security is authorized to order these actions if an AI system poses a catastrophic threat. The bill targets AI models that cost over $100 million to train and are used by companies with annual revenues exceeding $500 million. It includes provisions for incident reporting and imposes penalties of up to $20 million per day for non-compliance.
