Engineering’s Erman Ayday says AI “kill switches” could help manage rapidly advancing technology

Newsweek: Erman Ayday, associate professor in computer and data sciences at the Case School of Engineering, said a proposal for companies to install a 'kill switch' on AI programs could be a promising solution to concerns over how rapidly the technology is advancing. However, Ayday said key details like who decides when to use it and the metrics and benchmarks to trigger its use must be worked out in advance, so the decision to use it can be made as quickly possible.
