BREAKING: Florida seeks injunction against OpenAI

And potentially important news from Nvidia

BREAKING: Florida seeks injunction against OpenAI

TL;DR

  • Nvidia announced a platform for "AI Agent Safety."
  • This is seen as an acknowledgment of concerns about general-purpose AI agents with internet access.
  • The effectiveness of Nvidia's new platform remains uncertain.
  • Axios reported on top AI labs investigating tens of thousands of security incidents.
  • Florida's Attorney General is seeking an injunction against OpenAI, arguing they cannot properly regulate their tech.
  • The author advocates for an injunction to prevent potential AI-induced infrastructure problems.

The big news in the media this morning is that Jensen (“What, me worry?”) Huang has announced a platform for “AI Agent Safety”.

This is both an implicit acknowledgment that, yes, we should in fact be worried, and an important step toward addressing the ever-growing fiasco of general-purpose agents with internet access.

How much it actually helps, of course, remains to be seen. Nvidia often announces software, like Nemoclaw, that had had relatively little impact. Software for PR, as one friend put it.

Two and a half months later, probably nobody reading this has even heard of Nemoclaw.

Maybe this new platform will help a little, maybe it will help a lot, or maybe not at all. Too early to tell.

Andrew Ng was bullish, and I hope he’s right:

I love, by the way, that the important stuff is handed over to deterministic symbolic code. Good choice, since LLMs in themselves should never be trusted. Glad people are finally realizing that. Recognition is the first step!

In some ways, the bigger news, though it hasn’t gotten as much coverage yet, is this:

This is alotlike the pause on OpenAI that I have been recommending here for weeks.

And I very much agree with the Florida AG that OpenAI doesn’t have the ability to properly regulate its own tech. Every state and country should follow Florida’s lead.

In short, Florida gets it. We need an injunction NOW. Otherwise we are playing Russian roulette, hoping that some new software package can save us before some massive and possibly deadly AI-induced infrastructure problem strikes.
