Kamiwaza Corp. broke onto the scene last year with a novel approach to secure agent interaction. Its artificial intelligence orchestration engine uses relationship-based authentication control to ensure an agent only accesses the data the user could have.

The company’s recent project is an accessibility solution that helps government entities stay in compliance with the Americans with Disability Act, or ADA, standards. However, keeping AI secure, especially when government data is involved, is no simple matter.

Kamiwaza’s Luke Norris talks with theCUBE about the rise of agentic AI.

“Now you have this limitless intelligence that now knows about all your data,” said Luke Norris (pictured), co-founder and chief executive officer of Kamiwaza. “You can have two uncorrelated copies of data with two totally different sorts of representations. If an AI can correlate a larger meaning between those two datas, it actually raises a security threat. AI opens up all of these new things that were only theoretical.”

Norris spoke with theCUBE’s Paul Gillin at the SHI Fall Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Kamiwaza’s work with accessibility compliance and introducing agentic AI to government agencies. (* Disclosure below.)

Kamiwaza’s new accessibility agent

Kamiwaza worked with SHI Corp., Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and Nvidia Corp. to create a Section 508 compliance agent. The solution comes in three parts: A computer use agent which can take over a browser and access the website, a standard large language model, for understanding the website itself and a visual model, that represents the information visually, according to Norris.

“You have to orchestrate those three things together to get a full understanding of what’s being represented on that particular webpage,” Norris explained. “The agent then seizes that compliance … then it actually goes through and remediates that. It applies the metadata structure to individual images. It actually changes the HTML to represent what’s in the graphs.”

Norris views the compliance agent, called ARIA, as agentic AI’s entry point to government organizations. If the solution continues to prove itself — and it’s already saving years of manual labor — agencies are likely to explore what else agentic tools can deliver.

“The concept of buying into agentic AI … it’s quite complicated,” Norris said. “Since it’s so broad, it’s scary. With this, it’s a very tight solution that has a very tight [return on investment] that’s bundled nearly like an appliance that can be installed and turned on and get that immediate ROI … but now it’s an expansive capability that you can add on and add on.”
