Verification History

AI Verified Quote attributed to Bill McDermott (CEO of ServiceNow), year 2026. The Fortune source URL returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from the Fortune article on ServiceNow's AI kill switch (May 6, 2026, Knowledge 2026 conference): McDermott said "Intelligence without rules and rails is a dangerous blind spot" and "Governance isn't a feature. It's the whole ball game," warning that without it "your whole company can come down." The two-part quote with [...] bridging is faithful. The remarks were made unveiling ServiceNow's AI Control Tower with a kill switch to contain runaway/compromised AI agents, directly on-topic for the statement "Require large datacenters to install kill switches for AI containment." His strong advocacy for AI kill switches and governance is consistent with the "for" vote.
