Comment by Andrew Gee

When AI goes rogue, humans must retain the legal and technical authority to pull the plug. [...] This bill fixes a concerning lack of AI oversight and introduces a mandatory requirement for developers of high-capacity AI technologies to maintain technical shutdown and graduated response capabilities. [...] AI does not exist in some abstract ethereal ‘cloud’. It lives in massive, power-hungry, water-intensive, physical infrastructure on the ground. [...] Across Australia, these hyperscale data centres are expanding at an unprecedented rate. [...] We urgently need kill switches on the technology and common sense guardrails around data centres on the ground.
