Nvidia builds AI safety team to secure open-weight models

Nvidia is quietly building a new AI safety and security engineering team to evaluate AI agents before deployment and patch software vulnerabilities, signaling a bigger investment in secure AI. Job postings from late July seek a founding technical leader, security research engineer, evaluation engineer, and senior manager. The team will assess AI agents and build AI-powered security tools. The move aligns with Nvidia's growing support for open-weight models. Open models may increase demand for Nvidia’s chips and broader AI adoption. Nvidia recently joined the Open Secure AI Alliance, advocating transparency as foundational to American AI leadership and cybersecurity.
