No company I talk to wants less AI in their operations. They want AI they can see, explain, and control. In our new research with @OmdiaHQ, 99% of IT and network leaders say they won't let AI act without guardrails, and 69% want an explanation for every action an agent takes.

The AI era will be built on innovation and trust. Proud to be part of the ecosystem doing both.
Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry. Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come. But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility. This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems. Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy. Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m

One of the most impressive acts of sportsmanship we have seen in a long time. The world needs more of this….
A classy move from Scottie Scheffler. After a fell yelled in Nico's swing, Scottie conceded a 32-footer to tie the hole.

Spent the weekend with Meta's @Muse, and they got a lot right. - Every user gets their own VM. - The agent never sees a password. - A 2nd agent (Sentinel) has to approve anything that leaves the box. - Every action is in the audit trail. That's the most careful consumer agent sandbox I've used. I don't know if folks realize but a VM for every user, at Meta scale, is kinda huge! It's never been done before where we simply provision a linux microVM for every single consumer. We recently did this within @Cisco for over 80,000 of our employees. And now within our products as well as we start to scale it out to every single one of our users. 1/n

AI is reshaping the world of work. At Business Roundtable’s 2026 CEO Workforce Forum, CEOs shared how they’re leading through a time of transition as technology changes how Americans work and the skills employers need. See what these CEOs had to say: • @ChuckRobbins, Chair & CEO, @Cisco and @BizRoundtable Chair • @Janet_Truncale, Global Chair & CEO, @EY_US • Shelley Simpson, President & CEO, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. • John Furner, President & CEO, @Walmart • Christophe De Vusser, CEO & Worldwide Managing Partner, @BainandCompany • Blake Moret, Chairman & CEO, @ROKAutomation • Kristin Peck, CEO, @Zoetis • John Stankey, Chairman & CEO, @ATT • @CarolBTome, CEO, @UPS

A smart take from Jeetu all the way to the last line. Agents don't log off, and every task we hand them becomes traffic the network has to carry and secure in real time.
We Are About To Experience The Personal Agent Supercycle AI is rarely accused of being underestimated. But I think the movement forming around personal agents is highly underestimated. We have been talking about agents for a while. But outside the AI-pilled corner of X, I don’t think most people have internalized what happens when anyone can have a capable coworker that keeps working after they close their laptop. My thesis is that personal agents will trigger another compounding AI supercycle. Consumer adoption, enterprise demand and infrastructure consumption will accelerate together. Consider the early signals. In August, @OpenRouter data shared by @a16z showed agents consuming nearly 5x as many tokens as human-driven usage on its platform. @Deloitte projects inference will account for roughly two-thirds of AI compute in 2026. One person delegating a goal can set off an extended chain of planning, execution and verification. The amount of work we delegate becomes a new driver of demand. Now combine that with mass consumer distribution. @Meta’s @Muse brings personal agents into @WhatsApp. Meta knows how to make sophisticated technology accessible to enormous audiences. That is a meaningful advantage in a category where adoption depends on people experiencing something they struggle to understand from a description. Whether it is @Muse, Instinct, @Grokbot, @OpenAI or another player, personal agents could make power-user capability available through an ordinary conversation. People won’t need to master a collection of tools to experience what those tools can accomplish. My bet is that the next 12 to 15 months will bring a much faster move toward mainstream adoption than most companies are planning for. And that experience will travel into the enterprise. Once people routinely delegate meaningful work in their personal lives, they will expect similar capabilities at work. Consumer adoption becomes a training ground for enterprise adoption. Companies will face growing pressure from their own employees to make this possible. The biggest constraint, in my view, will be trusted delegation and infrastructure availability. An agent’s usefulness expands with the access we give it. So does the consequence of a mistake. Without access to our applications, data and tools, much of its potential remains inaccessible. Granting that access requires confidence in its judgment, clear limits on its authority, visibility into its actions and the ability to intervene. That makes safety and security central to adoption itself. Every improvement in trust can unlock more delegation. More delegation creates demand for the compute, memory, networking and power needed to support it. This is the compounding effect I think we are underestimating. More people discovering what agents can do. More work entrusted to them. More enterprise demand. More infrastructure required. We are approaching another ChatGPT moment in AI. I thought @OpenClaw might be that moment, but its setup complexity limited its reach. The next breakthrough may come from agents that hide that complexity entirely: a Muse, Instinct, Grokbot or OpenAI product that lets anyone delegate a long-running task in a simple conversation and return to a completed result. Delegation will feel natural, trustworthy and reliable at scale over the next few months. Every task users are willing to hand over will expand the market for agents and the infrastructure required to run them. The next ChatGPT moment is fast arriving. The next AI supercycle is forming right in front of our eyes. 3 months from now will look very different for personal productivity provided safety and security make progress which they will, however we will continue to have demand outstrip supply in infra if personal agents proliferate as much as I think they will.

Great interview by @jpatel41 .......
The debate this week around the risks of safety and security with AI was the strongest we've seen. I happened to be in London earlier today and met with @cnbcKaren, Steve Sedgwick and @Benboulos from @CNBC. We discussed a range of issues including safety and security, margins for hyperscalers, durability of demand, slowing down AI, global coordination to handle security risks and more.

The CEOs I talk to are asking the same three questions about AI: 1) can I trust it?; 2) can I secure it?; and 3) can I afford it? This week the @Splunk team helped answer all three. That is what critical infrastructure for the AI era looks like. Great work, and worth the watch if you missed the #splunkconf26 keynote. cs.co/6005BGpNAL

For many of our regulated and public sector customers, machine data is the data that can't leave the building. Now they can run AI right where it lives, so sensitive data never leaves. Great work by the @Splunk team!
Your data can stay where it is. AI can come to it. At #splunkconf26, Splunk shared how @Cisco Data Fabric, powered by the Splunk Platform, helps orgs connect distributed machine data & turn it into trusted operational context for AI. Dig in: splk.it/4hf73BL
