OpenAI privately collaborates with Nvidia on AI safety despite skipping public platform

Nvidia has launched an industry-wide initiative called the Open Agent Safety Platform, aimed at preventing rogue AI agents. OpenAI is notably absent as a public supporter of the effort, raising questions about its stance on the collaboration. However, TechCrunch has learned that OpenAI is in fact working with Nvidia on AI safety matters behind the scenes. The company's decision to stay off the public platform while engaging privately suggests a deliberate choice to avoid a formal public commitment. The nature and extent of the private collaboration between the two companies has not been fully disclosed.
