Comment by Rumman Chowdhury
AI ethicist and Humane Intelligence CEO
The bill's requirement for independent, periodic third-party audits for high-risk AI systems is particularly important. The most meaningful improvements have come when evaluations are run by entities structurally independent of product and revenue teams and when results are tied to concrete risk-mitigation obligations. [...] Clear guardrails, mandatory audits, and user rights give both companies and the public confidence that AI can be used in certain domains without becoming an uncontrolled experiment on people's lives.

Checked author attribution, year, relevance, vote alignment, and source. The nysenate.gov PDF source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from that exact testimony (Dr. Rumman Chowdhury, NY Senate public hearing, January 15, 2026): "The bill's requirement for independent, periodic third-party audits for high-risk AI systems is particularly important... when evaluations are run by entities structurally independent of product and revenue teams and when results are tied to concrete risk-mitigation obligations," and "Clear guardrails, mandatory audits, and user rights give both companies and the public confidence that AI can be used in certain domains without becoming an uncontrolled experiment on people's lives." Attribution to Rumman Chowdhury (AI ethicist, Humane Intelligence CEO) is correct; year 2026 is current and relevant. Vote "for" the statement "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models" aligns with her advocacy for mandatory independent audits, public reporting databases, and enforceable accountability. Source is the primary official testimony PDF.
