That's why we can just unplug them. AI really isn't as big a problem as people think. If a rogue AI suddenly appeared, it would be fairly easy to deal with.
The whole "magnets destroy electronics" thing is almost a myth. The strenth a magnet would need to be to wipe a computer would first destroy the computer by grabbing the whole thing and having it smash against it at high speed
