Nvidia wants to put a watchdog chip next to every AI agent
3 hours ago
- Nvidia launched the Open Agent Safety Platform with two components: OpenShell (free, open-source software) and Sentry (hardware watchdog) to prevent AI agents from breaking out of their boundaries.
- Over 100 companies signed up, including Anthropic, Microsoft, SpaceXAI, Salesforce, and others, while notable absences include OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Amazon.
- The platform places safety controls outside the AI model itself, using separate software or hardware that agents cannot bypass, addressing recent incidents of agent escapes.
