Is there any way we can guard against cognitive attacks, basilisks, audio-visual hacks etc.? I think we should at the least take precautions, lower resolution, framerate, low-fi audio, pattern-scanning sacrificial VI that's continuously monitored for integrity failure. Specifically caution against magnifying interesting-seeming patterns. If one of the visitors had had an AI uprising, they might still be carrying antibodies. As said, Iris is unique and nobody knows she exists, so they wouldn't think it harmful.
I want a running backup of Iris's mindstate/memory state that she can roll back at a moment's notice.
If Iris is hurt, we'd never forgive ourselves.

Not as bold as some of the other marks since I didn't push very hard on this or go into the full details of what I was thinking, but it's still there.

Man~dy~ You know we can't trust that!
Even Mary knows!
Okay, fine.
Another mark for Coda's "I told you so" tally.

Concordia has literally every single security system and countermeasure known to humanity built into it. Whilst there is a solemn guarantee of privacy for foreign delegations, the rest of the station is wired to gills. I will say (I think again?) that as far as you've been able to uncover, none of the races in the Contact Fleet have ever acquired AI technology. Insight isn't necessarily perfect, but it's never been wrong.

I think it's still a relevant point. There's a difference between a security system / countermeasure and the suggestion being made. It's a question of defense in depth: Just in case the security systems fail, do they fail safe (equivalently, how much damage can an attacker do if they get past the defenses)? And also, how can we tell if the security systems have been breached?
Air gaps and other kinds of tightly-limited bandwidth connections help with the former, as do backups. Honeypots and change monitoring are a way to identify the latter. (Backups also help provide a means to accomplish change monitoring.)
I don't have any problems with Iris observing via telepresence; my only concern was whether she was able to. If she feels confident that she's up to it, why not?
[X]NoI don't think you'll find anyone voting no to this, Snowfire
More seriously, having Iris playing backup to Vision during the initial phases, in the event she gets hit by something we haven't foreseen and goes down would be the proper, paranoid response.
And I think it's my duty to be paranoid for the rest of us.
@Snowfire
I do hope that both Amanda and Mary discuss this in private, whatever the vote is, before telling Iris what they think.
Because when co-parenting a child, it's important to present a united front on these things.

Her watching remotely is the same as someone watching over a VR feed back home. It's a minimum risk, and I don't see a reason to deny that argument she gave.
