AI brief

Google introduced Agent Compute Engine, a runtime environment for AI agents that gives each Gemini agent its own hardware-isolated micro virtual machine. Google is also expanding governance capabilities for managing agents across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.

Why it matters: Isolating each agent in its own micro virtual machine could give companies tighter control over how AI agents run in their environments.
