Comment by Connor Leahy

Conjecture CEO; AI safety researcher
As AIs grow more autonomous and dangerous, the government must have the power to shut them down when they threaten national security. The AI Kill Switch Act gives the U.S. government powers to do just that: a common sense action that Americans overwhelmingly support. More work is needed to address the risk of human extinction posed by superintelligent AI, and this is a great step in the right direction.
