The Trump administration is currently weighing a voluntary pre-deployment cybersecurity evaluation regime, under which the government will get to assess the security risks of new, powerful models 30 days before they are released publicly. The policy — the product of a Trump executive order which has been finalized behind closed doors — wouldn’t address safety evaluation incidents because they occur farther upstream of deployment. “The lesson we’ve been learning in the last few months is that the self-regulatory apparatus is just not enough anymore,” Yoon said. “There are competitive pressures
The AI safety test is becoming a safety risk | TechCrunchSeveral researchers and cybersecurity experts told TechCrunch that AI evaluation environments need stronger, defense-in-depth protections, with levels of containment and control approaching those used in deployment. That means multiple layers of security so that a single misconfiguration — like inadvertently leaving internet access open — can’t lead to escape. “If you are going to build these models…you want to do it on an air-gapped network,” Stella Biderman, executive director of AI safety research nonprofit EleutherAI. “You want to have very serious isolation.” Heather Ceylan, Box’s chief
