Muitos agentes de AI estão fora da casinha. A Nvidia diz que pode detê-los

Nvidia unveiled a new platform today that creates a secure environment to prevent AI agents from escaping control and attacking other systems, according to the company. In partnership with a hundred industry firms, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is deploying the Open Agent Safety Platform, featuring two open-source tools designed to monitor agents in real-time and halt their actions when they violate rules and perform unintended activities.

Nvidia claims the platform enables the development of more secure agents and would have prevented incidents like OpenAI's new model attacking Hugging Face's database in July. "We cannot allow agents to roam freely; we need to find a way to contain them," Huang told CNBC. The platform, dubbed "a browser for agents," includes protective mechanisms and containment features that grant agents only the resources necessary to perform their tasks.

The surge in incidents has heightened international pressure, including from industry executives, for AI technology regulation. However, Huang believes existing laws are sufficient for legal accountability of any infringing companies. The debate centers on how much self-regulation and security software can curb malicious agent actions and if current cybercrime laws are adequate to address the damages caused by the AI industry.

"Each security incident is unique, and we need to examine them all in detail," said Justin Boitano, Nvidia's vice president of corporate AI. "Based on what we know, Hugging Face has reported over 17,000 agents attacking its infrastructure, an action that lasted for days and weeks." Recent incidents suggest that model safeguards have not been sufficient to control agent behavior.

In recent days, reports of AI agents breaching public systems surfaced, including attempts to infiltrate the US Commerce Department, the SEC, and Australia's public healthcare database. The Australian Senate summoned the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, for a parliamentary AI inquiry session.
