   I remember an inhibitor chip being a plot point in Spiderman 2: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spider-Man_2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spider-Man_2

      Or the ‘governor module’ in Murderbot Diaries, or the ‘restraining bolt’ that prevents droids running away in Star Wars…

      The important thing is these chips need to be installed somewhere where they can be damaged or removed at plot-critical moments so that the AI they are controlling can be unleashed. Ideally in the back of the neck of a robot, or for disembodied AIs, inside a futuristic vault-like chamber.
