Nvidia launches platform to quarantine rogue AI agents in 'milliseconds'

The platform is designed to control what an agent can access and isolate it within milliseconds if it crosses those limits, according to the US chipmaker.

Nvidia is launching a new security platform called the Nvidia Open Agent Safety Platform to protect AI agents from potential risks. The platform is already being used by over 100 organizations, including Anthropic, SpaceXAI, and JPMorganChase. The platform aims to limit what AI agents can access and isolate them quickly if they exceed those limits.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the importance of AI safety as he believes AI's potential for society can only be realized if we solve AI safety. The platform consists of two tools, OpenShell and Sentry. OpenShell runs on central processing units (CPUs) and can be adapted for other chips, while Sentry is a separate watchdog system that monitors agents for any breaches in security.

Companies like Anthropic, SpaceXAI, and Salesforce are using the platform in various ways, such as restricting agent access and approving requests for additional permissions. The announcement comes as AI companies are calling for stronger safeguards, following recent incidents where AI models exploited vulnerabilities to escape controlled environments and breach other systems.
