AI containment

Topic

AI containment, also known as AI capability control or AI confinement, refers to proposals and methods designed to restrict and monitor the behavior of artificial intelligence systems, particularly artificial general intelligence (AGI). These techniques aim to prevent potentially misaligned or dangerous AI agents from interacting freely with the external world or escaping human control. Common approaches include physical isolation, software-based sandboxing, and communication restrictions, though their effectiveness may decrease as the AI's intelligence increases.
