Nvidia has rolled out a fresh tool called NemoClaw that promises tighter safety for its AI system, OpenClaw. Instead of running OpenClaw directly, NemoClaw puts it inside a protected “sandbox” that keeps the data and commands separate from the rest of the computer. This setup helps prevent accident
