Air gapping is a network security measure that physically or logically isolates a computer, server, or entire network from unsecured external networks, including the public internet and Wi-Fi.
The signatories include Geoffrey Hinton, known as "the Godfather of AI"; Yoshua Bengio, a pioneer of artificial neural networks and deep learning; and Stuart Russell, author of the authoritative textbook "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach."
They propose an international regulator...
