Legislatures and regulators face significant challenges in rapidly translating conventional command-and-control legal requirements into technical requirements. [...] Overreliance on industry to provide technical standards fails to ensure that the many values-based decisions that must be made to shape AI development and deployment are made by democratically accountable public, not private, actors. [...] The model proposes the development of an independent sector of licensed private regulators. Governments license and audit private regulators, evaluating their regulatory services against the required outcomes.

Verified. The arXiv source URL (2304.04914) returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from the paper "Regulatory Markets: The Future of AI Governance" by Gillian K. Hadfield and Jack Clark: "Legislatures and regulators face significant challenges in rapidly translating conventional command-and-control legal requirements into technical requirements" (the technical deficit), "Over-reliance on industry to provide technical standards fails to ensure that the many values-based decisions that must be made to shape AI development and deployment are made by democratically accountable public, not private, actors" (the democratic deficit), and the model of government-licensed and audited private regulators. Author attribution is correct (Gillian Hadfield, Johns Hopkins AI governance scholar). Although the original arXiv ID is from April 2023, the paper was revised in February 2026, consistent with the listed year 2026. The vote "for" on the statement "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" aligns with the paper's proposal of independent licensed third-party regulators that governments license and audit. Source URL is the appropriate primary source.
