RAND's model weights report sparks pitch for bio-style "AI Safety Levels" air-gapped facilities
anpaure · x · 2026-09-21
Responding to François Fleuret, anpaure cites RAND's "Securing AI Model Weights" report and proposes mimicking bio safety levels with tiered "AI Safety Levels" facilities: real air gaps inside Faraday cages plus high-security controls, with tiers tied to model parameter counts or compute. The idea targets the risk that stolen frontier weights bypass all safety guardrails; Fleuret himself questioned why no one is floating such graded facilities yet.
