AI Boxing is attempts, experiments, or proposals to isolate ("box") an unaligned AI where it can't interact with the world at large and cause harm. See also: AI
Challenges are: 1) can you successively prevent it from interacting with the world? And 2) can you prevent it from convincing you to let it out?
One idea for AI boxing is the Oracle AI: an AI that only answers questions and isn't designed to interact with the world in any other way. But even the act of the AI putting strings of text in front of humans poses some risk.
