Microsoft storms RAMPART, adds Clarity to agentic AI safety
Microsoft has open-sourced two new AI tools aimed at enhancing safety in AI development. The first tool, RAMPART, allows developers to simulate real-world attack scenarios and verify the safety of AI agents. The second tool, Clarity, serves as a structured sounding board to help teams assess their project requirements before coding begins.
- ▪Microsoft has released RAMPART, a framework for testing agentic AI applications.
- ▪RAMPART enables developers to simulate attacks and verify that AI agents operate within safe parameters.
- ▪Clarity helps teams clarify project goals and potential issues before they start coding.
