Summary

Hundreds of AI researchers, 487 at the time of publication including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, signed an open letter arguing that current security procedures for training AI models are inadequate. They call for tougher rules, more AI safety research, and a new international body to set safety standards and receive reports of containment failures.

Mitigation

Strong sandboxing mechanisms including air-gapping (disconnecting from the internet) should be used to provide high-assurance containment of cyber-capable AI models.
