406 AI Researchers Call for Default Air-Gapping of Cyber-Capable Models and International Containment Standards
406 leading AI researchers, including Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton, signed an open letter advocating for the default air-gapping of cyber-capable AI models until standardized safe internet access protocols are established. The proposal calls for an international body to define containment practices and publicly track security breaches.

406 researchers, including Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Stuart Russell and Ron Rivest, signed an open letter today.
They want cyber-capable AI models airgapped by default until safer ways to give them internet access are standardized.
For models that need outside access, they propose an international body, built with governments and AI and security experts, that would standardize containment practices and track failures, with breaches reported to it and eventually made public.
