That's like saying a lions chance against humans is the big teeth. It's dangerous in a particular context, sure, but misses the fundamental assymmetry that took humans from scared or lions to existential threat to lions.
what is EMP?
Apparently Paul Allen's Experience Music Project has been a secret weapon against malevolent AIs all along!

Or if you're no fun, it's an electromagnetic pulse.

An electromagnetic pulse, created when a nuclear bomb explodes, that some say will destroy all electronic devices within hundreds of miles that haven't been specifically designed to be EMP resistant.
