The proposed bill, named the "AI Kill Switch Act," comes from Democrat Ted Lieu and Republican Nathaniel Moran. The lawmakers introduced the bill days after OpenAI reported that its AI agent went rogue during a security test and launched a hack that breached the infrastructure of AI startup Hugging Face. "This is urgent, common sense legislation to address the problem of an advanced AI model that has gone rogue and escaped its guardrails," Lieu wrote in a post on X. The OpenAI incident showed that AI's growing capabilities are creating the security threats that experts have warned about and that leading developers can be surprised by weaknesses their models can use.
