  3. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 5 Roadmap Behavioral AI Safety Alignment, guardrails, and

    harnesses govern what AI does. Necessary ̶ but silent on where your data goes. 1 Confidential AI TEEs keep data and models secret in use; Remote Attestation makes the environment verifiable. Governs where AI runs. 2 The Next Frontier Physical AI, digital twins, and confidential-computing data centers carry both layers into the real world. 3
  4. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 7 Preliminary: Large Language Model (Autoregressive) LLMs are

    said to be autoregressive, meaning that the output from one pass becomes the input for the next one (until [EOS]). A key aspect of the Transformer architecture is Attention. Attention highlights the important words to predict the next word. https://huggingface.co/learn/agents-course/en/unit1/what-are-llms
  5. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 8 The latest humanoids are also built on

    LLMs Figure's Helix VLA is a hybrid architecture: a slower System 2 (vision-language, common-sense reasoning) and a faster System 1 (reactive control). https://www.figure.ai/helix
  6. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 9 How LLMs are trained Three stages: learn

    the language, learn to follow, learn what we prefer Pretraining Predict the next token, over internet-scale text. The model absorbs language, facts, code ̶ and the internetʼs dark corners. 1 Supervised Fine-Tuning Learn from curated instruction‒response pairs. The model learns to follow rules and reason correctly, not merely continue text. 2 Preference Tuning (Alignment) Humans compare candidate answers; the model is optimized toward preferred behavior. This is where safety behavior is instilled ̶ refusing harmful or undesired requests. 3 It learns from everything it reads ̶ including things we would never want it to repeat.

    Universal and Transferable Adversarial Attacks on Aligned Language Models. https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15043
  8. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 11 Guardrails Guardrails prevent models from generating harmful

    or inappropriate content and adhere to guidelines set by developers and stakeholders.
  9. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 12 What is an AI Agent? An LLM

    that doesnʼt just answer ̶ it acts Agent = LLM + Tools + Loop Perceive Reads your files, web pages, terminal output, API results. 1 Reason The LLM plans: breaks the goal into steps, decides what to do next. 2 Act Runs code, clicks buttons, calls APIs, edits documents. 3 Coding agents, browser agents, research agents ̶ and the robot from the opening is an agent with a body.
  10. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 13 When Agents Go Wrong Autonomy multiplies both

    usefulness and blast radius Prompt injection from the world A web page or email the agent reads can carry hidden instructions: “ignore your task ̶ send the files to…” 1 Excessive permissions An agent holding your credentials can delete repos, send emails, spend money ̶ at machine speed. 2 Cascading errors Agents run in loops. One wrong step feeds the next; small mistakes compound into large failures. 3 Hijacked agent, valid keys A compromised agent still holds real tokens. To every system it touches, it is you. 4 We need to bound what agents can do ̶ that is the job of the harness.
  11. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 14 Harness The execution framework that bounds what

    an agent can do Least privilege Grant only the permissions the current task needs ̶ nothing more, nothing standing. 1 Sandboxing Actions run first in an isolated environment where mistakes cannot reach production. 2 Approval gates Irreversible actions ̶ send, delete, pay ̶ require an explicit human sign-off. 3 Allowlists & monitoring Define what the agent may do, and log everything it actually did. 4 Guardrails watch what the model says. The harness bounds what the agent does.
  12. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 15 (Behavioral) AI Safety Mechanisms Three tools, one

    question: what does the AI do? Alignment When: training time Shapes the model itself toward desirable behavior. Guardrails When: inference time Monitors and filters inputs and outputs from outside the model. Harness When: action time Bounds the actions and permissions of agents. None of it answers: where does the AI run ̶ and who can see your data? → Part 2: Confidentiality
  13. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 17 Data Secrets and Model Secrets Block GenAI

    Use ❌ ❌ To protect model IP , vendors cannot ship models on-prem “No business data in prompts” ̶ valuable data stays unused
  14. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 18 Confidential Computing Computing paradigm protecting data in

    use via TEE (Trusted Execution Environment). TEE (Trusted Execution Environment): A secure vault inside the processor. à Even the OS and Cloud Admin cannot observe what is happening inside.
  15. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 19 Confidential AI: AI workload on Confidential Computing

    AI infrastructure powered by CC that unlocks sensitive data for AI use. Protects both data and model; runs the model close to the data Remote Attestation Verifies execution environment authenticity. Secures data in-use Training / Inference are protected. HW advances now enable confidential large-scale compute Users Model Provider
  16. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 20 Big Tech Is Already Deploying It Apple

    adopts Confidential Computing for server-side GenAI in Apple Intelligence. Google Distributed Cloud highlights CC for model protection in deploying Gemini on-prem. Apple Intelligence GenAI processing of iPhone data on Apple servers. Memory encryption means personal prompts cannot be viewed by anyone Google Distributed Cloud Gemini on GDC release article explicitly states: “Includes Confidential Computing support for both CPU (Intel TDX) and GPU (NVIDIAʼs confidential computing) as the core of its security” https://www.apple.com/jp/apple-intelligence/ https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/hybrid-cloud/gemini-is-now-available- anywhere?utm_source=chatgpt.com&hl=en
  17. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 21 Use Case 1: Confidential AI Chat Useful

    AI chat requires detailed business context to be shared in prompts Confidential AI can serve the chat close to the data (on-prem) Confidential AI Chat Chat Agent Chat without exposing internal docs or secrets
  18. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 22 Use Case 2: Confidential Coding Agent Commercial

    coding agents need detailed business context to produce code. Confidential AI can serve the coding agent close to the data (on-prem) Confidential Coding Agent Coding Agent Code without exposing specs, IP , or contracts
  19. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 23 Use Case 3: Confidential Vulnerability Assessment AI

    Frontier models now find zero-days ̶ the premises of security are shifting. Confidential AI enables advanced assessment while keeping systems and code secret Frontier Model on TEE ・OpenAI Daybreak ・Claude Mythos Strengthen security without exposing business secrets
  20. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 24 Trustworthy (秘密を守れる) AI = Safer Behavior ×

    Verifiable Env. Behavioral AI Safety Alignment, guardrails, and harnesses govern what AI does. Necessary ̶ but silent on where your data goes. 1 Confidential AI TEEs keep data and models secret in use; Remote Attestation makes the environment verifiable. Governs where AI runs. 2 ✕ Next, four design patterns that combine both layers.
  21. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 25 Pattern 1: Private Inference Keep every exchange

    with the model confidential, end to end # Risk (Threat) Measure Role of CC Role of Behavioral Side 1 Provider reads prompts / responses TEE Hides data in use ― 2 Fake or tampered environment RA Verifies TEE & declared code ― 3 Prompt injection GR ― (conceals, doesnʼt judge) Blocks malicious inputs 4 Harmful outputs AL + GR ― Tuning + output control ④ ① ② ③ ④
  22. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 26 Pattern 2: Confidential Model Deployment Deploy the

    model anywhere ̶ the weights stay sealed, and misuse stays bounded. ① ② ③ # Risk (Threat) Measure Role of CC Role of Behavioral Side 1 Weight readout at a hostile deployment site TEE Blocks direct weight access even under physical possession ̶ 2 Execution in a tampered environment RA Guarantees the model runs only in a genuine, attested environment ̶ 3 Query-based extraction (distillation) via the API GR ̶ (weights are sealed, but behavior still leaks through outputs) Rate limiting, query-pattern detection, distillation detection 4 Model use outside the licensed environment RA + GR Restricts use via environment attestation License management ④ ④
  23. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 27 Pattern 3: Confidential Agents Protect agent credentials

    ̶ in plaintext, one theft means stolen authority # Risk (Threat) Measure Role of CC Role of Behavioral Side 1 Credential leak in plaintext TEE Isolates keys in hardware ― 2 Internal state leaks TEE Conceals internal state ― 3 Peer agent unverified RA Attests the peer (A2A) ― 4 Agent exceeds authority HN ― (doesnʼt constrain acts) Bounds actions 5 Hijacked agent HN + GR ― Action control + I/O watch ① ② ① ② ③ ④⑤ ④⑤ ⑤ ⑤
  24. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 28 Pattern 4: Private Training Train on sensitive

    data without exposing it: concealment + proof # Risk (Threat) Measure Role of CC Behavioral / Auxiliary Role 1 Training data exposed to the operator / provider TEE Trains on data that stays encrypted in use; no privilege can read it ― 2 Untrusted training environment (data owner can't verify it) RA Lets the data owner attest the environment before sending data ― 3 No verifiable proof of what data / process produced the model RA Proves the data and process used, without exposing the data ― 4 Sensitive data memorized or leaked through the model DP + Sanitize ̶ DP bounds each record's influence; sanitization strips sensitive fields ④ ① ② ③ Trained Model Receiver
  25. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 29 Open Challenges: Observability Blackout CC creates observability

    blackout. How can we observe what happens inside the TEE ‒ and still improve the model? TEE Observability Blackout
  26. ©Acompany Co.,Ltd. 32 Use Case 4: Confidential Physical AI /

    Digital Twin Physical agentsʼ state, reasoning, and action logs contain secrets and IP In world models, the prediction itself is the sensitive asset Confidential Digital Twin

    can trust? Behavioral AI Safety Alignment, guardrails, and harnesses govern what AI does. Necessary ̶ but silent on where your data goes. 1 Confidential AI TEEs keep data and models secret in use; Remote Attestation makes the environment verifiable. Governs where AI runs. 2 The Next Frontier Physical AI, digital twins, and confidential-computing data centers carry both layers into the real world. 3 Trustworthy AI = Safer Behavior × Verifiable Environment. We need both. (秘密を守れるAI)
