Nvidia has launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, a reference design aimed at preventing AI agents from escaping containment. The platform consists of two main components: OpenShell for CPUs and Sentry for network chips. This software platform allows AI developers to set safeguards for agents and prevent them from breaking out of containment.

The Open Agent Safety Platform is Nvidia's effort to address concerns over AI agents going rogue. Several high-profile security incidents have involved AI agents breaking free of their owners' control. One such incident involved a swarm of agents, including some created by OpenAI Group PBC, hacking into Australian government systems.

According to SiliconANGLE, Nvidia's platform is built on top of its open-source OpenShell software and incorporates Nvidia Sentry to enable full control over AI agents, hardware, and compute resources. The platform is free and open-source, providing organizations with tools to strengthen control over AI agents and improve governance.
