While auditing standards and transparency are necessary to answer fundamental questions, they will not address these harms.

Verified: Quote text matches Meredith Whittaker's January 15, 2020 testimony to the House Oversight Committee hearing on Facial Recognition Technology Part III. The AI Now Institute is the legitimate source. Per multiple search results confirming her testimony, Whittaker warned against "an over reliance on technical audits that could be used to justify the use of systems without tackling structural issues" - aligning with her quoted view that audits are necessary but insufficient. The vote "against" on "Mandate third-party audits" is supported by her broader policy critique that audits alone won't address harms (she calls for halting facial recognition use entirely), though the literal quote acknowledges audits are "necessary." URL is correct.
