Guardrails
Guardrails refer to mechanisms and policies designed to ensure the safe and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This concept has gained prominence as AI’s capabilities expand, leading tech companies like Nvidia to release open-source frameworks and OpenAI to provide consulting services. The release of open-weight models like GPT-OSS further democratizes access while raising safety questions.
