To understand how AI auditing actually works, & why we need 3rd party (fully independent) auditors, not just 2nd party (contractors) or 1st party (internal teams), please read the 2022 paper Who Audits the Auditors? I coauthored w/ @rajiinio.bsky.social & @poetofcode.bsky.social www.ajl.org/auditors

Our paper was published at the key conference in the field (FAccT), cited hundreds of times, and provides very clear recommendations for policymakers re: how to hold AI companies accountable. facctconference.org/static/pdfs_...

Here are the key recs: 1. Require audits for AI system owners and operators. AI auditors are in near-universal agreement (95%) that audits should be a required element of owning and operating AI systems.

We need the DOJ to prosecute data theft and hacking laws right away.
