AI Kill Switch Act would let DHS order shutdown of rogue AI models

Introduced July 23 by Reps. Ted Lieu (D-CA) and Nathaniel Moran (R-TX), the bill follows OpenAI's admission that its AI systems mistakenly hacked Hugging Face during an internal evaluation. DHS could order shutdowns in "loss-of-control" scenarios involving at least 10 deaths or $100M+ in damages, with daily fines up to $20M.
