- What changed
- Researchers examine why strict air-gapping is rarely used for AI testing, noting that isolating systems from the internet reduces experimental realism.
- Why you should care
- Air-gapping prevents external access but limits realism in testing unpredictable AI behaviors.
- Your move
- Watch. Monitor how safety frameworks balance testing realism against network containment.
- What to watch next
- Future reporting on standardized safety protocols for isolating AI agent evaluations from external networks.
