GoKawiilUK peers push amendment giving government power to shut down rogue AI systems
Lord Tim Clement-Jones and fellow peers have proposed an amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill that would let the British government deactivate dangerous AI systems and shut down data centres if they threaten national security. Separately, Labour MP Alex Sobel is preparing an AI Security Bill backed by campaign group ControlAI that could make the UK the first G7 nation to legislate against superintelligent AI development. Both measures still need government backing to advance, while similar 'kill switch' legislation is being weighed in the US.
