    Can sandboxing really contain rogue AI agents?●Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?YhnBusinessCrypto481 h ago

    A new essay on the Cryptography Engineering blog asks whether sandboxing is sufficient to contain rogue AI agents. The piece examines whether current isolation techniques can stop misbehaving autonomous software, a question gaining urgency as agents are given more access to systems, credentials and real-world actions. The debate highlights a gap between common containment practices and the threats posed by increasingly capable agents.
