Developers created a new lightweight scripting language called Autolang to address the security risks associated with AI agents executing arbitrary code. Autolang operates as a restricted virtual machine, allowing AI agents to only call functions explicitly registered by the developer, thereby preventing unauthorized access to file systems or operating system commands. This approach offers a more secure and resource-efficient alternative to traditional sandboxing methods like Docker, especially for applications running numerous concurrent agents that execute short, frequent scripts. AI
