NVIDIA launches open platform for securing autonomous AI agents

NVIDIA announced an open software platform and reference system design for adding safeguards to autonomous AI agents. The described design combines a host-CPU runtime with an out-of-band watchdog on a DPU; one source characterizes it as continuous in-silicon monitoring, while the other describes the watchdog as something an agent cannot see.
