The phrase "AI kill switch" sounds like a red button hidden behind glass in a government bunker.

The proposal now before Congress looks less dramatic, but it could give Washington significant new power over the country's largest AI companies.

A bipartisan House bill would require developers of the most powerful AI systems to maintain reliable shutdown controls.

The Department of Homeland Security could then order a company to restrict or stop a model during a catastrophic emergency.
