Microsoft launches MXC, an OS-level sandbox for AI agents, with OpenAI and Nvidia already on board

Summary

At its Build developer conference, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC), a policy-driven execution layer built into Windows that lets developers and IT administrators declare what an AI agent can access, with boundaries enforced at runtime by the OS kernel. MXC offers a composable sandbox spectrum from lightweight process isolation to micro-VMs and Linux containers, addressing security concerns of autonomous AI agents. OpenAI and Nvidia are already on board.
