California to unveil first IVO framework, making AI evaluators accountable to the public, not labs

- California will announce on Monday how it plans to build the first-ever IVO (Independent Verification Organization) framework, with major implications for AI governance.
- Today's 'independent evaluation' isn't truly independent: no conflict-of-interest rules, invitation-only access, and labs set the scope—evaluators answer to labs, not the public.
- The new framework flips that paradigm: third-party experts evaluating AI models will be accountable to government and the public, with access determined by the government.
