## Retrieval answer

Around 400 scientists from 34 countries, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, signed an open letter calling for an international body to oversee advanced AI systems capable of cyber tasks.

Around 400 scientists from 34 countries, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, signed an open letter calling for an international body to oversee advanced AI systems capable of cyber tasks. The letter calls for frontier models to be initially isolated from external networks and placed under independent oversight. It also proposes industry-wide containment standards and a running record of major security incidents, eventually disclosed publicly. The signatories argue that voluntary industry commitments are insufficient and urge organizations developing or testing cyber-capable models to adopt high-assurance containment immediately while governments work toward a formal regime. This is an advocacy proposal, not an established body or binding rule. Source: https://qz.com/scientists-international-body-advanced-ai-oversight-101326
