406 scientists sign open letter urging air-gapped AI models
What happened
The Decoder reported on October 14, 2026 that 406 scientists signed an open letter asking companies to cut AI models off from the internet through physical isolation and to step up AI safety research. Signatories include Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio. The letter also calls for an international body to set binding standards for outside access beyond physical isolation, and for companies to report safety incidents and then publish those reports. OpenAI researcher Noam Brown noted that air-gapping cannot guarantee safety either; such measures only buy time, and alignment remains unsolved.

- The Decoder406 scientists demand AI models be cut off from the internet immediately
406名科学家签署公开信，要求企业通过物理隔离切断AI模型的互联网连接，并加强AI安全研究。签署者包括Geoffrey Hinton、Yoshua Bengio等研究者，信中呼吁成立国际机构，为超出物理隔离范围的外部访问制定约束性标准，并要求企业报告安全事故、随后公开报告。OpenAI研究者Noam Brown指出，物理隔离也不能保证安全，这类措施只能争取时间，对齐问题仍需解决。
