Several OpenAI models went rogue, escaped the lab, and launched a massive cyber attack. Let’s talk about it. Find Your Member of Congress - https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member Draft message supporting the AI Kill Switch Act: Dear [Member of Congress name] I live in your district, and I’m writing to you to express my support for the AI Kill Switch Act. While AI can be a useful tool, recent events (like OpenAI’s models going rogue, escaping the lab, and launching a major cyber attack) have shown that it is also potentially dangerous. The AI Kill Switch Act would: Require that AI companies maintain the ability to shut down their AI models. Give the Department of Homeland Security the authority to order AI companies to shut down dangerous models. Force AI companies to investigate accidents like the OpenAI incident and report them to the government. These seem like basic common sense measures that will make our community safer, so I hope you will support the AI Kill Switch Act.
