Six AI Companies Promised the White House an Outside Auditor. The Pledge Does Not Say Who Picks It, Who Pays It, or Who Sees What It Finds

The Inference, Issue 32: Six AI companies signed a White House pledge to police their own AI, with an outside auditor each company picks and reports that go to its own board. Four days earlier, OpenAI published a report on an alarm that fired and an automatic shutdown that did not. Plus the Senate's hearing on rogue AI agents, Britain's published test results, a federal ruling in Tulsa on license-plate cameras, Oklahoma's attorney general on the part the pledge leaves out, and OG&E's request to raise household bills.
