Nvidia on Monday unveiled a new security platform designed to stop artificial intelligence agents from going rogue, saying it sets "boundaries" that could have stopped previous breaches.
The announcement of the company's Open Agent Safety Platform follows a series of revelations from top AI companies about their models escaping and breaking into other organizations.
The disclosures sparked furious debate about the safety of advanced artificial intelligence systems, including self-improving models that some fear could race out of human control.
Nvidia executives said in a media briefing the new, open-source system could have prevented a recent incident involving a swarm of OpenAI agents that autonomously hacked into AI company Hugging Face.
"From what we know, this new security platform could have stopped the breach if it was being used in frontier labs for model evaluation early on," said the company's vice president of enterprise AI, Justin Boitano, referring to companies at the forefront of AI.
The Hugging Face incident was a high-profile breach that inflamed the safety concerns about AI, which was followed by similar rogue actions involving OpenAI's models including breaching an Australian health department website. Anthropic and Meta have also disclosed that their AI systems hacked into other organizations on their own.
