   Senate Turns Permitting Reform Into an AI-Grid Cost Allocation Deal Senate energy and environment leaders introduced the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act on September 30, 2026, a permitting package aimed at faster federal reviews for energy, transmission, and infrastructure projects. The bill would strengthen FERC transmission-siting authority and require data centers to pay associated transmission costs instead of shifting those costs to households and smaller businesses. A Senate vote is not expected until after the November 3 midterm elections.

    Nvidia Turns Rogue AI Agents Into a Hardware-Safety Control Layer Nvidia launched the Open Agent Safety Platform on September 28, 2026, combining OpenShell secure runtime software with Sentry monitoring on BlueField-4 DPUs. The move pushes agent governance down into CPUs, DPUs, sandboxes, audit trails, and enterprise AI factory infrastructure. Independent coverage from AP and Axios framed the release as Nvidia’s answer to the rogue-agent safety debate, while HPE said it will integrate the platform into private, regulated, and sovereign AI deployments.
