The engineering reality is that no single “switch” can turn AI off. Models run across data centers, backup systems, laptops and phones. Once released and set into motion, autonomy makes AI difficult to control or turn off. An AI shutdown requires control over the power, hardware, model copies and operators worldwide at the same time, which would be ineffective and unrealistic.
