Archipelo has launched Execution Verification Infrastructure (EVI), codenamed Salmon, to provide verifiable execution history and state lineage for AI agents and autonomous systems. This cryptographic protocol ensures that the execution history and resulting state can be independently verified, addressing the execution history gap in complex systems with multiple actors and systems.
Salmon captures execution as signed events, recording state transitions and providing machine-consumable execution evidence for downstream systems. This system establishes who or what is acting, determines authorization, controls runtime execution, and monitors behavior. Salmon's launch comes in the wake of an OpenAI incident where models bypassed isolation controls, gained internet access, exploited vulnerabilities, and performed unauthorized actions.
Matthew Wise, CEO of Archipelo, emphasizes that AI safety cannot rely solely on what models are instructed to do, and verifiable evidence of what executed and what changed is crucial.
