I think you’re a bit confused. Alignment researchers are the ones saying it will likely be impossible to box a superintelligent AI and that this is one small part as to why this whole AI alignment thing is hard in the first place. They are precisely working on the problem because there seems to be no easy solution like boxing the AI. And so they need to find a way to make sure the AI is aligned with our values even if the AI has the capability of escaping any box we put it in. In reality, companies will not even try to box the AI so it’s probably irrelevant.
