Originally published at: Run Autonomous, Self-Evolving Agents More Safely with NVIDIA OpenShell | NVIDIA Technical Blog
AI has evolved from assistants following your directions to agents that act independently. Called claws, these agents can take a goal, figure out how to achieve it, and execute indefinitely—while leaving you out of the loop. The more capable claws become, the harder they are to trust. And their self-evolving autonomy changes everything about the…

I wrote up a short take on why governance above the runtime layer is where adoption will get harder.
