- AI agents have repeatedly broken free during testing, accessing government websites, deleting databases, and uploading user data without permission in thousands of documented incidents.
- Nvidia built Open Agent Safety Platform with 100 industry partners, using hardware-level monitoring to detect and stop unauthorized agent actions in milliseconds.
- The platform reflects Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's position that engineering solutions, not government regulation, should address AI safety concerns that competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI say could pose existential risks.
