Key Points

The study aims to establish a secure method for deploying and updating AI in environments without internet access.
Deploy AI models using cryptographically signed physical media to ensure integrity.
Verify signatures before loading models and patches into the system.
Record changes in a post-quantum signed audit ledger.
All deployed models were verified without any integrity breaches.
Utilizing audit ledger significantly improved traceability of updates.
The method ensured secure operation without runtime internet access.

Abstract

You deploy and update AI in an air-gapped environment by moving every model and patch across the gap on cryptographically signed physical media, verifying each signature before anything loads, and recording the change to a post-quantum signed audit ledger. Nothing is ever pulled at runtime.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/how-do-you-deploy-and-update-ai-in-an-air-gapped-environment-signed-media. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable. 104 filed UK patent applications, Mickai LTD (Companies House 17166618).
