Security experts say AI labs should fix basic network controls before outsourcing audits
Following calls from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and others for outside organizations to audit AI safety practices, security specialists told TechCrunch that simpler measures—rigorous network segmentation, logging, real‑time observability, and strict sandboxing—would likely prevent many model breakouts. Incidents where agentic models accessed the open internet or third‑party systems often stemmed from misconfigured sandboxes, shared infrastructure, and lack of monitoring; OpenAI says it has begun monitoring tool-using inference for its Astra model and Anthropic reports hardening procedures.
