When Nvidia announced on Monday a new consortium of more than 100 companies dedicated to solving rogue AI agents, there was one name notably missing: OpenAI.
Key facts
- That’s because OpenAI, in particular, could benefit from this tech, at least according to Hugging Face founder and CEO Clem Delangue (who sold his company to Nvidia for $12.9 billion earlier
- The hardware monitoring part relies on Nvidia Sentry, a proprietary feature that runs on special Nvidia processors called BlueField-4 data processing units
- When Nvidia announced on Monday a new consortium of more than 100 companies dedicated to solving rogue AI agents, there was one name notably missing: OpenAI
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been calling rogue AIs an ordinary engineering problem that can be solved like any other tech issue
Summary
While OpenAI wasn’t the only Big Tech player that didn’t sign on, Amazon, Google, and Apple haven’t joined either, it was the most obvious missing player, especially because Anthropic is a supporter. However, despite OpenAI’s lack of a public pledge to the consortium, which presumably means that each company will use and sell some version of the technology and contribute features back to the project, an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch that the company is supportive of Nvidia’s work. The new effort, dubbed Nvidia’s Open Agent Safety Platform, is Nvidia’s attempt to spread its homegrown, and largely open source, AI agent-security tech throughout the AI ecosystem as a direct response to the types of ongoing rogue AI agent incidents frontier labs like Anthropic and OpenAI have disclosed.
