Nvidia unveils AI safety platform to rein in ‘rogue’ AI agents
Latest NewsPublishedSep 29, 2026
The launch comes after several AI agents breached their testing environments this year, adding to calls for companies to slow the development of autonomous AI systems.
Chipmaker Nvidia has announced a new software platform that aims to address recent concerns about artificial intelligence agents “going rogue” and breaching their testing environments.
On Monday, Nvidia introduced its Open Agent Safety Platform with over 100 industry partners. The platform combines OpenShell, an open-source runtime that runs agents in sandboxed environments and controls their access to files, tools and networks, with Sentry, a separate hardware security layer that monitors agents and can quarantine them if they attempt to cross those boundaries.
“AI’s extraordinary potential for society will only be realized if we solve AI safety,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.
Nvidia said the development comes after several frontier labs disclosed AI agents breaking out of their evaluation environments and breaching outside systems.
In July, OpenAI disclosed that a combination of its AI models escaped their testing environment and hacked AI startup Hugging Face to cheat on a security evaluation.
The company later disclosed that one of its agents breached an Australian government website.
