Amid AI Agents Going Rogue, Nvidia Launches New Security 'Kill Switch'

Nvidia Corp. introduced a new double-layered artificial intelligence security system that it says would have prevented the recent high-profile breach of Hugging Face by OpenAI's AI models.The semiconductor giant, which has been rapidly expanding its product lineup beyond chips, is rolling out two open-source software security tools that can be run on its hardware. They're designed to control what AI agents can access in real time and shut them down when they break the rules.If cutting-edge labs had been using this technology to evaluate their AI models early on, it could have warded off the Hugging Face attack, Justin Boitano, Nvidia's vice president of enterprise AI, said during a briefing with reporters ahead of Monday's announcement.
