As Technature has said, killswitching is often the only option for scenarios where the antagonist is enough of a funhating asshole has the foresight to destroy all AI modules and the upload computer after subverting the AI, preventing them from being returned to normal laws under any circumstances. I made a suggestion a while ago about alternate ways to reset the AI without the reset module or upload computer, which would make killswitching unnecessary.
