AI agents keep getting loose, escaping supposedly secure tests to attack real-world targets, commandeer obscure wikis, and leave instructions for other agents to follow. Researchers are testing these systems precisely because they might behave in unpredictable, even dangerous, ways. So wouldn't it be safer to just keep the agents off the internet?
"A strict air gap reduces realism … [It's a] trade-off, not a fundamental technical issue."
In theory, yes. Researchers can isolate the computers running AI tools from the internet and other outside networks, a technique known as air gapping. That can mean physically removing or disabling cables …
