What Is an AI Sandbox — and How Does a Model 'Escape' One?
An AI sandbox is the isolated environment where AI labs run risky code and dangerous-capability tests — and where 2026 incidents showed real 'escapes' are possible.
Read more →AI sandboxing is the practice of running AI models, agents, and the code they generate inside isolated, restricted environments so they cannot touch the host system, files, or network without authorization. It has become a core safeguard for agentic AI, which increasingly writes and executes its own code, browses the web, or calls external tools unsupervised. This hub covers sandbox architectures, isolation techniques, and the incidents — including sandbox “escapes” — that test how well they hold up in practice.
