Finally, it’s not clear how well some of the act’s provisions reflect the current state of the AI ecosystem. The act demands that labs hire an independent third party to complete an annual audit of their protocols to ensure compliance with the act. Tellingly, the act does not grapple with the current shortage of such independent third parties with competencies required to perform such audits. The shortage of AI experts across the economy suggests that such auditors may not be as readily available as the sponsor suspects. What’s more, as case law interpreting the act piles up, these audits will become more onerous, more costly, and more bespoke. This is disruptive and likely counterproductive. AI Verified source (2025)
