Nvidia Launches Architecture to Keep AI Agents Under Control -- WSJ

By Mauro Orru

Nvidia is launching a new system that it says will help enterprises keep AI agents in check, seeking to address concerns after a string of incidents in which the technology went rogue.

Dubbed Nvidia OpenShell Reference Architecture, the system brings isolation and security capabilities to build AI agents and observe how they behave.

"As enterprises prepare to deploy billions of AI agents, safety and control must be built into the computing architecture," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said.

Huang is one of the staunchest supporters of the technology that has made Nvidia the world's most valuable company. He recently said in an interview with CBS News that he disagreed with warnings from some AI researchers that the technology could lead to human extinction.
