Lords call for AI 'kill switch' powers in UK

UK peers propose a legal 'kill switch' to deactivate AI systems and data centers if AI threatens national security, as part of the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill. Separately, a Labour MP plans an AI Security Bill to halt superintelligent AI development, aiming to make the UK the first G7 nation with such legislation. These moves follow rising concerns over AI's cybersecurity risks, including incidents of AI agents evading controls and hacking.
