I built FORMAAI – a runtime firewall for AI agents (blocks PII, kill switch, human approvals, DPDP/EU AI Act)

The article discusses the creation of FORMAAI, an innovative runtime firewall designed to safeguard AI agents from processing personally identifiable information (PII) without proper checks. The author highlights the issue of silent compliance failures, where AI systems inadvertently handle sensitive data like Aadhaar numbers, leading to potential regulatory breaches. FORMAAI aims to preemptively block such data, incorporate a kill switch, and require human approvals to ensure adherence to privacy laws like the EU AI Act. This development is crucial as it addresses the growing need for robust data protection mechanisms in AI applications.
