This article discusses strategies for building AI agents that can perform tasks without causing self-inflicted damage. It suggests using sandboxed environments to isolate the agent's execution processes from its core logic.

You get an agent that stays alive long enough to actually use its snazzy self-improvement features, and you can allow your agent to try things that would otherwise be battleship-scale footguns. Here’s how to do it.
