MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT'S ADVISERS : On the Kill Switch, the System That Does Not Need One, and the Specification That Can Be Implemented Now

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The President said there should be a kill switch for dangerous AI. He is right that there should be a stop. Every system that can cause harm should have a stop. This is not a controversial claim. It is the oldest safety principle there is. This memorandum does not dispute the principle. It disputes the tool. And it presents asystem that does not need the tool, because it cannot take the unsafe action in the first place.
