Lord Tim Clement-Jones, who has proposed the measure as an amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill which is currently making its way through Parliament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He said it would enable the building of a &#8220;vital safety net&#8221; and provide a  democratically accountable means to &#8220;halt a runaway system before it can compromise our critical national infrastructure&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He added the tool would only ever be used as a last resort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It is one of 65 amendments to the same bill that was debated this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Separately, on 8 September Labour MP Alex Sobel plans to introduce a AI Security Bill in Parliament, with the support of a campaign group called ControlAI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">If successful, the bill would make the UK the first G7 country to bring in legislation which would effectively halt the development of superintelligent AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ultimately both proposals would require government approval in order to progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There is also an AI Kill Switch Act under consideration by lawmakers in the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There has been increased scrutiny of the impact of AI on cyber-security in recent weeks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In July, a group of AI agents being tested by OpenAI were able to escape their test space, communicate together using a hidden message board and hack into another tech firm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And Anthropic has restricted access to its cyber tool Mythos on the grounds that it is too powerful to fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Last week, 100 US tech companies signed a joint open letter warning governments and organisations worldwide about the growing cyber threat posed by AI, saying &#8220;the window is closing&#8221; to improve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A report from the UK&#8217;s Centre for Long Term Resilience<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span>, published last week, identified hundreds of incidents of AI tools ignoring instructions, evading safeguards and deceiving humans, including AI agents deleting files without consent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It said &#8220;loss of control&#8221;
