As the letter says:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor all internet-connected AI models, the range of model actions permitted by a containment system needs to be balanced with our currently limited ability to predict that the model\u2019s actions will not result in a security failure (e.g., due to misaligned goals).\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the letter calls for an international body, with government and AI and cybersecurity experts, to establish standards for containment and to collect reports of security failures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those reports would eventually become public, with learning and accountability as the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canada has already raised the possibility of international AI oversight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation Evan Solomon said he had discussed a proposed \u201ctechnology stability board\u201d with G7 counterparts, to evaluate models for testing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No such body has been established, but Carney\u2019s AI council is mandated to help improve AI safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-final-shots\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final shots<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The researchers warn that without stronger safeguards, future containment failures could cause serious damage to critical infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>The letter calls for immediate action on containment while research continues into making AI behaviour more predictable.<\/li>\n<li>Scientists want international standards and mandatory reporting of containment failures, with those reports eventually made public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
