I think success would be indistinguishable from a rock, since you can never again interact with the AI via any channel. Removing it from your light cone, for instance. And praying that FTL is in fact impossible...
Actually, I do seem to have underestimated the difficulty here.
OK, in a nuclear submarine (because why not) floating in water, surrounded on all six sides by concrete (as thick as you like,) on a planet without native life or colonists (I suggest one of the more useless gas-giant moons.) And it’s running on regular off-the-shelf technology, so no nanites or quantum magic. It can probably blow up the sub, but then a) it’s dead and b) no-one cares.
Once you think you’ve designed an AI-proof box, feel free to share.

Oh, and the concrete is lead-lined.
Throw the AI down the well!
