NVIDIA introduces NeMo Guardrails, a collection of software tools enhancing accuracy, security, and control of generative AI applications. The technology is designed to safeguard enterprises building agentic AI across various industries. NeMo Guardrails features NVIDIA NIM microservices for robust framework development and deployment of secure AI agents. Three new microservices are introduced: content safety, topic control, and jailbreak detection. The solution helps developers orchestrate multiple AI software policies to enhance LLM application security and control. Industry leaders such as Amdocs, Cerence AI, and Lowe’s leverage NeMo Guardrails for enhanced customer interactions. The solution is open and extensible, offering integration with a robust ecosystem of leading AI safety model and guardrail providers.
NVIDIA has recently introduced its innovative solution, NeMo Guardrails, a collection of software tools that enhances the accuracy, security, and control of generative AI applications. This groundbreaking technology is specifically designed to safeguard enterprises building agentic AI across various industries.
At the heart of NeMo Guardrails lies the NVIDIA NIM microservices, which provides a robust framework for developers to build secure, trustworthy AI agents that provide safe, appropriate responses within context-specific guidelines and are bolstered against jailbreak attempts. This technology is deployed in customer service across different industries, such as automotive, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, and has been shown to boost customer satisfaction and trust.
One of the new microservices introduced by NVIDIA is the content safety NIM microservice, which was trained using the Aegis Content Safety Dataset — one of the highest-quality, human-annotated data sources in its category. This dataset is curated and owned by NVIDIA and is publicly available on Hugging Face and includes over 35,000 human-annotated data samples flagged for AI safety and jailbreak attempts to bypass system restrictions.
Another new microservice introduced is the topic control NIM microservice that keeps conversations focused on approved topics, avoiding digression or inappropriate content. This ensures that responses are not only safe but also contextually appropriate, providing a more reliable and controlled customer interaction experience.
The third new microservice introduced is the jailbreak detection NIM microservice that adds protection against jailbreak attempts, helping maintain AI integrity in adversarial scenarios.
NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails helps developers orchestrate multiple AI software policies — called rails — to enhance LLM application security and control. It works with NVIDIA NIM microservices to offer a robust framework for building AI systems that can be deployed at scale without compromising on safety or performance.
Industry leaders such as Amdocs, Cerence AI, and Lowe’s are harnessing the power of NeMo Guardrails to enhance their AI-driven customer interactions. Amdocs is using NeMo Guardrails to deliver safer, more accurate and contextually appropriate responses in its amAIz platform, while Cerence AI is relying on high-performing, secure solutions from NVIDIA to power its in-car assistant technologies.
Lowe’s, a leading home improvement retailer, is leveraging generative AI to build on the deep expertise of its store associates. By providing enhanced access to comprehensive product knowledge, these tools empower associates to answer customer questions, helping them find the right products to complete their projects and setting a new standard for retail innovation and customer satisfaction.
Consulting leaders Taskus, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro are also integrating NeMo Guardrails into their solutions to provide their enterprise clients safer, more reliable and controlled generative AI applications. Additionally, NVIDIA has recently announced that its NVIDIA AI Blueprint for retail shopping assistants incorporates NeMo Guardrails microservices for creating more reliable and controlled customer interactions during digital shopping experiences.
NeMo Guardrails is open and extensible, offering integration with a robust ecosystem of leading AI safety model and guardrail providers, as well as AI observability and development tools. This provides flexibility to developers who want to integrate multiple lightweight, specialized models as guardrails to cover gaps that may occur when only more general global policies and protections exist.
The solution also utilizes small language models, like those in the NeMo Guardrails collection, which offer lower latency and are designed to run efficiently, even in resource-constrained or distributed environments. This makes them ideal for scaling AI applications in industries such as healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing, in locations like hospitals or warehouses.
NVIDIA's innovative solution, NeMo Guardrails, is poised to revolutionize the way enterprises build and deploy agentic AI applications, providing a robust framework for enhancing accuracy, security, and control. By harnessing the power of NVIDIA NIM microservices, developers can create more secure, trustworthy AI agents that provide safe, appropriate responses within context-specific guidelines.
