AI majors shift to risk aversion as Nvidia launches agent safety platform
Major AI players are shifting from speed to safety: Nvidia rolled out a software platform to contain AI agents, OpenAI scrapped GPT-6.1 Astra over safety concerns, and Anthropic released Sonnet 5.5, stressing it improves existing tasks rather than pushing capability frontiers. Nvidia also announced a $150 billion buyback, lifting its shares, while Michael Burry warned the AI bubble may burst sooner than later.
