Governance
AI Kill Switch Playbook
One page. Zero ambiguity. Absolute control.
When AI systems go wrong, hesitation is failure.
This playbook defines the minimum controls required to immediately stop an AI system that has become unsafe, compromised, or unpredictable.
What This Is
- A practical shutdown framework for AI-enabled systems
- Written for operators, not theorists
- Designed to be used under pressure
What This Is Not
- A policy document
- A compliance checklist
- A philosophical discussion
Inside the Playbook
- Who has authority to shut the system down
- How fast the shutdown must occur
- What scope must be controllable
- How isolation prevents escalation
- What must happen before re-enablement
If you don't have these controls, you don't have governance.
Governance isn't an artifact. It's an operating standard.
