Nvidia has introduced the Open Agent Safety Platform, featuring OpenShell and Sentry tools designed to set boundaries for AI agents and prevent unauthorized actions, following recent high-profile security incidents involving autonomous models.
The company said that its Open Agent Safety Platform includes software that"sets boundaries for agents," and follows a series of revelations from top AI companies about their models escaping and breaking into other organizations.
Nvidia executives said in a media briefing that the new system could have prevented a recent incident involving a swarm of OpenAI agents that autonomously hacked into AI startup "From what we know, this new security platform could have stopped the breach if it was being used in frontier labs for model evaluation early on," said the company's vice president of enterprise AI, Justin Boitano, referring to companies at the forefront of AI. It was a high-profile breach that enflamed the concerns about AI, which were followed by similar incidents involving OpenAI's models includingNvidia's software, which is called OpenShell and is open source, lets developers"formally verify an agent has enough authority to do its job and no more," Boitano said.
The platform also includes a separate security layer called Sentry that runs onboard a chip to constantly monitor AI agent activity and can"intervene instantly" if the agent starts trying to move beyond its target, the company said.
"OpenShell governs the agent's actions, and then Sentry independently monitors and contains suspicious behavior," Boitano said.
