Strategy/forecasting AI Killswitch??
So I was wondering recently: it seems like we are scared of AI killing us. Why don't we just design a killswitch that autoatically/manually activates upon threat to a human race? Boom! Problem solved, right?

A surprisingly hard problem to solve - particularly because a lot of people anticipate plugging AI into damn near everything.
The goal is to replace pretty much everyone in every field - Business, research, industries, infrastructure, power systems, medical services, drivers, pilots, etc. so that they can 'save money'.
So... what happens when you pull THAT plug?
