A control to deactivate or localize the AI system when: What does this policy primarily provide?
A policy defining who can shut down or restrict a system, and under what triggers, is a control to deactivate or localize the AI system.
The question
A governance policy defines who may switch off a deployed AI system, and under what triggers, so it can be stopped quickly if regulators demand it or performance degrades badly. What does this policy primarily provide?

- A schedule for routine maintenance, updates and periodic retrainingA legitimate operational plan, but maintenance scheduling keeps the system running rather than enabling its shutdown.
- A record of incidents, issues and open risks for the systemRelated governance documentation, yet an incident log captures events instead of authorizing a stop or restriction.
- A vendor agreement clause allocating liability for downstream harmsA real contractual safeguard, but liability allocation differs from the operational ability to deactivate the system.
- A control to deactivate or localize the AI system when necessary ✓Defining authority and triggers to switch off or restrict a system is exactly a deactivation or localization control.
The trap
Assuming a maintenance or retraining schedule provides the same protection as a defined deactivation control. How to remember it
A policy defining who can shut down or restrict a system, and under what triggers, is a control to deactivate or localize the AI system.
