Summary
The donation from the world’s most valuable company comes as the UK government confirmed its AI Security Institute (AISI), which tests advance AI models, will be able to examine cutting-edge technology developed by companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google before they are released. Nvidia said the donation, which spans five years, would “support agentic safety and security research across the UK”. Safety concerns about AI agents, highly capable computer programs that are able to design and perform sequences of tasks autonomously, have risen since the summer, when OpenAI confirmed that a “swarm” of agents had attacked Hugging Face, a tech startup.
