Microsoft said it was releasing Microsoft Execution Containers, a tool to prevent agents from accessing data and doing unauthorized tasks when running on a laptop or desktop machine. Anthropic, OpenAI and Nvidia will use the tools, Pavan Davuluri, executive vice president for Windows and devices, said at the event in San Francisco.

Microsoft unveiled on Wednesday an AI coding model that can run directly on personal computers and new security technology to prevent AI agents from accessing data without permission, challenging Apple's push to bring more AI into personal devices. The software company also presented a new laptop powered by Nvidia's chips as it seeks to turn Windows into a platform for AI agents to handle tasks such as writing code without having to access the cloud. Microsoft said it was releasing Microsoft Execution Containers , a tool to prevent agents from accessing data and doing unauthorized tasks when running on a laptop or desktop machine. Anthropic, OpenAI and Nvidia will use the tools, Pavan Davuluri, executive vice president for Windows and devices, said at the event in San Francisco.

"We needed to make the desktop the most secure place for agents to execute," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said. Davuluri said new tools would let IT departments set rules for agents and the Windows operating system would enforce those rules on each employee's machine. For Microsoft, the move represents a bet that some work that currently happens in its costly Azure cloud computing data centers can be shifted to high-powered Windows machines in businesses and homes, a market where the Redmond, Washington-based firm retains a stronghold - and where its customers foot the hardware bills.
