The next enterprise artificial intelligence breakthrough could be the ability to stop an AI agent before it makes an expensive mistake. Or a hundred of them all at once.
Nvidia’s newly launched Open Agent Safety Platform, announced Monday (Sept. 28), brings that distinction into sharper focus. The platform combines open-source software with hardware-based monitoring designed to detect, constrain and stop autonomous agents that operate outside established boundaries, and already includes collaborations across more than 100 organizations such as Anthropic, JPMorganChase, Microsoft, Salesforce and SAP.
After all, as businesses move from asking artificial intelligence to analyze information toward allowing it to execute transactions, update supplier records and interact with corporate systems, the question of what AI can do is becoming inseparable from what it is authorized to do. For CFOs and CISOs, then, AI security is becoming part of the infrastructure that determines whether software can independently execute business decisions, rather than just a safeguard applied after deployment.
