AI agents can write code, use tools and keep working long after a person steps away. NVIDIA’s September 28 Open Agent Safety Platform launch puts permission controls outside the agent’s workload and offers a separate hardware-backed watchdog. The aim is to give people stronger control over what agents can reach; the launch does not establish that agents are now safe in every setting.
