Why I built a Physical Kill-Switch Protocol for AI Safety (Open Source)

Hi everyone, I’m Ahmed M. Abdel-Maaboud. Like many of you, I’ve been thinking about AI safety. But I noticed a problem: we are trying to solve safety with software. As a system architect, I believe true safety must be physical. I’ve spent the last few hours (with some great AI collaboration for the coding parts) building AEGIS-HARDWIRE. It’s a protocol that uses hardware logic to ensure a robot can be stopped physically, no matter how 'smart' its software becomes.
