New Technology to Protect AI Safety: Microsoft Strengthens Monitoring System for "Agentic AI"
Published
Microsoft has announced a new initiative to strengthen the security of "agentic AI," which refers to AI that makes decisions and takes actions autonomously. In recent years, technology that allows AI to perform complex tasks like a human has evolved, but concerns have simultaneously grown regarding the possibility of AI making erroneous judgments.
The core of the newly announced measures is a monitoring system powered by "Guardian Agents." This is a mechanism where one AI constantly checks the actions of another to ensure there are no inappropriate operations or dangerous movements. Since it is difficult for humans to monitor every single action, the goal is to enhance safety by having AIs monitor each other.
Additionally, the company is utilizing a new technology called "Project Perception." This technology allows AI to objectively understand its own actions and increases transparency. By clarifying the process behind why an AI made a particular judgment, it enables developers and users to utilize the system with peace of mind.
These technologies are extremely important for a future where AI is used as critical social infrastructure. Microsoft states that it will continue to conduct research to increase model transparency, aiming not only to enhance the convenience of AI but also to create a trustworthy AI environment.
