Sandboxing AI agents is like browser tabs for the 90s web, says NVIDIA's safety analogy
GavinSBaker · x · 2026-09-28
Following up on NVIDIA's agent safety stack, the author likens it to seatbelts and airbags for AI. He quotes NVIDIA's technical blog analogy: the 90s web was full of possibility but also risk — sites could run code on your machine, steal data, infect you with viruses. Trust came via encryption and, crucially, the radical idea of isolating each page in its own sandbox (browser tabs). NVIDIA's Open Shell and Sentry bring the same trust layer to the agent era.
