A bipartisan House bill would mandate a working kill switch for AI models costing over $100M to train or generating $500M in yearly revenue, amending the Homeland Security Act for DHS enforcement. Covered developers must be able to stop inference and shut down systems, with fines reaching $2M daily for non-compliance and $20M for defying emergency orders.
A federal bill would impose direct regulatory control over frontier AI model operations, increasing compliance costs and operational risks for developers.
