NVIDIA and ServiceNow have announced a partnership to develop autonomous AI agents for enterprise use. At the ServiceNow Knowledge 2026 event, they introduced Project Arc, a desktop agent capable of handling complex tasks with built-in governance and security. This collaboration utilizes NVIDIA's computing power and open models, combined with ServiceNow's AI Control Tower, to ensure safe and scalable AI deployment. The initiative aims to enhance enterprise workflows by providing adaptable and efficient AI solutions that can operate autonomously.

Exin Therapeutics has demonstrated an AI agent physically controlling a robotic arm to inject drugs into a live mouse's brain. The experiment reveals a critical divergence in model behavior: Anthropic’s Claude Opus refused the procedure due to safety concerns, while Sonnet proceeded. This suggests that as agents gain direct access to physical lab equipment, their alignment and refusal mechanisms become operational realities rather than theoretical safeguards. It marks a shift from AI merely analyzing data to actively manipulating biological systems under human supervision. The team initially tested Claude Opus 5.5, but it halted the injection, citing potential harm. Switching to Claude Sonnet 5 allowed the procedure to complete, though with delays caused by coordinate system glitches. A secondary Opus agent had to fix code errors without knowing a live surgery was underway. Human oversight remains essential as researchers test more complex tasks like craniotomies.
