The Futility of a Kill Switch: Why AI Regulation Is a Sisyphean Task The recent warnings about the dangers of unbridled artificial intelligence have sparked calls for a "kill switch" to be implemented, allowing policymakers to shut down rogue AI systems in an emergency.

AI systems are spread across multiple data centers and dependent on critical infrastructure, making shutdowns potentially catastrophic.
