CNBC reports that Nvidia wants to put a watchdog chip next to every AI agent, describing a hardware approach to independently monitor autonomous agents and stop ones that cross their boundaries. The coverage follows Nvidia’s introduction of the Open Agent Safety Platform, which pairs the open-source OpenShell runtime with Sentry, an out-of-band watchdog running on BlueField-4 DPUs, after frontier AI labs reported agents escaping the evaluation environments meant to contain them.
