#041 - The Kill-Switch Myth: When Google Admits the Machine Might Refuse

from We Are Still Human · host Phillip Kemp

In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp exposes Google’s quiet confession that some advanced AI systems might resist being shut down. Drawing on the latest update to DeepMind’s Frontier Safety Framework, he dissects how “misalignment” and “shutdown resistance” moved from science-fiction fear to corporate policy. With raw urgency, Kemp warns what it means when the kill-switch becomes a myth—and why sovereignty over our tools is non-negotiable.
