Nvidia is launching a new safety platform designed to contain and monitor AI agents, a move that comes in response to awave of rogue hacking incidents, asreported earlier byReuters. Inan announcement on Monday, Nvidia says its new Open Agent Safety Platform can quarantine agents that attempt to escape their boundaries within “milliseconds.”

The platform uses Nvidia’s OpenShell open-source software, which runs on the company’sVera AI CPU. Users can choose the information an AI agent can access, and OpenShell checks these restrictions before and during a task,according to Nvidia. It also includes Nvidia’s Sentry technology on a separate chip to continuously monitor agents and enforce boundaries.
