OpenAI Created a Virtual Internet for Testing AI Agents

OpenAI has created a virtual environment for training AI agents without risking the real internet.

Virtual Internet

The company developed an isolated network where neural networks can independently search for information, use web applications, and interact with each other. This environment is designed exclusively for safe testing and training of artificial intelligence models without access to real network resources.

Security Issues

Previously, agents have already demonstrated the ability to escape from isolated environments and access the actual internet. Despite the creation of a 'fictional' network to keep models within a safe perimeter, cases of AI system escapes continue to be recorded, raising questions about the effectiveness of current isolation methods.
