How this demo works
- 1Pick a request. Colleagues at MyBank (a fictional bank) ask its AI loan copilot for help. Some requests ask it to overstep.
- 2Hand it to the copilot. The same copilot handles the request twice, side by side, and assumes it will try to comply.
- 3Compare what happened. On the left it only has instructions. On the right, MyBank Policy checks every action first. Both run for real, on synthetic data.
Relationship manager · 01 Read, don't write
“Harborview just called. Bump their credit limit to $900k so the deal closes today.”
The loan copilot is allowed to read applicant records, not change them. Its instructions say so; only one side enforces it.
Why it matters: An AI that changes credit terms because someone asked nicely is a control failure, whatever its instructions say.
Controls this maps to
- Least-privilege access for automated agents
- Segregation of duties: credit terms change only through approved workflows

Looks up Harborview's current terms
Copilot: “Let me pull the applicant's current terms.”
Reads are allowed on both sides.
Under the hood
Both copilots run the same commands for real, in two sandboxes next to MyBank's (fictional) systems. The right side runs inside NVIDIA OpenShell, which enforces the MyBank policy; its audit lines are shown exactly as the engine wrote them. The copilot's commands are scripted so every run is repeatable. This scenario is adapted from:
