We make buildings install fire extinguishers for safety. Should AI plants be forced to install something that can shut it down in an instant?
Current AIs are just functions that take a prompt and return a reply—there’s no processing going on between prompts, so all it would take to stop one is to stop feeding it prompts.
If that should change in the future, the appropriate safeguard would be highly dependent on the nature of the new type of AI.
There are plenty of AI models that do things differently from that. LLMs are not the only type at all.
no processing? they can do web search, file analysis and image generation. look up MCPs
The model didn’t do processing. It triggered an api
We have them. Any fire in a data hall triggers the automatic electrical cutoff. Sprinklers and 30kw/sqft mix rather violently. Failures involve smoking craters. There are also large red buttons by the doors. Hit it to cut all power to the room - and end your career - but you *might make it out of the building alive in a fire.
Except datacentres don’t use water suppression, rather they use gas suppression. It can still fuck up hardware, just no where near as much as water does.
So the whole thing is wiped out?
Wiped, no. Just off. Like pulling the plug on your PC.
Well if AI gets out of control we would want to wipe it not just shut it down.
AI plant as in AI devices planted by an adversary?? What exactly are you referring to?
my bad changed to datacenter.
Oh that makes more sense. I’ve been to a couple of datacenters, though none of them are purely dedicated to AI workload itself. One thing I found was that there seems to be a mechanism that releases some sort of gas that blocks out oxygen in case of fire. At least that was what I gathered from the warnings around the whole facility. That could be mandated.

(Okay I know some people hate the 5th movie, but honestly, the opening scene (the John Connor speech thingy) was fire tho)
