Argues that encryption, confidential computing and hardware-backed attestation let cloud inference run safety checks without routine human access by publishing approved binary measurements in a public append-only log and using per-client nonces. Gives concrete defenses: hash-matching stopped CSAM uploads, chained-request detection exposed Indonesian scam funnels, cross-account correlation revealed incremental malware builds, and cites the NYT demand for 20 million chats as the legal risk. Describes architecture for online/offline classifiers and an end-to-end no operator access guarantee, and flags open problems: debugging, distribution shift, metadata leakage, side channels, and attestation compromise.
