Nvidia says its new AI safety platform can contain rogue agents within ‘milliseconds’

The platform uses Nvidia’s OpenShell open-source software, which runs on the company’s Vera 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.

Concerns about AI safety have risen in recent weeks, as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google have all revealed incidents where their AI models went outside their testing environments and hacked other companies. Several major tech companies are backing Nvidia’s Open Agent Safety Platform, including Anthropic, Microsoft, and SpaceX.
