AI coding agents need freedom to be useful, but that same freedom makes them dangerous to run. Mark Cavage is the President and COO of Docker, and he joins Gregor Vand to discuss Docker Sandboxes and how isolated micro VMs let agents run untrusted code safely. The post Docker and Sandboxing AI Agents appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
