Nvidia Gives Banks a New Way to Stop AI Agents From Crossing the Line
What's happening
Nvidia on Sept. 28 launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, an open software platform and reference system that pairs software restrictions with an independent hardware watchdog to stop autonomous AI agents when their controllers fail. Nvidia said the platform would have halted a recent Hugging Face hack, and positions hardware-based monitoring as a way to stop an agent before it makes costly mistakes.
