Miles Brundage shared a discussion on mechanism design for third-party audits in AI governance.
In the quoted post, Gabriel Weil points out a flaw in current audit proposals: because frontier developers are the customers for audit services, it risks a 'race to the bottom' in rigor. To solve this, he proposes an insurance-based audit system that harnesses market competition to drive accuracy and strictness.
