PROBLEM: Autonomous systems now act faster than any human review loop, yet the human override assurance and model kill switch registry question has no governed record: when an AI system acts, there is often no durable account of what it was allowed to do, what it actually did, and who could stop it. Without that account, accountability is asserted, not shown.
SOLUTION: IBM Cloud Ideas would provide a governed human override assurance and model kill switch registry record: every delegation, threshold, override, and rollback logged with lineage, so human control is demonstrable rather than assumed. It governs the record and the workflow, not the model itself.
EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (2023) and the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) set the governance duties this record would track; frontier-model safety evaluations, including published 2025 evaluations by leading labs, are documented practice. Source: NIST AI RMF; EU AI Act; published model evaluations.
