Nauti's Take
The opportunity is meaningful: third-party audits can build trust in AI systems and squeeze out shady providers, a real win for consumer protection. The risk is compliance cost that pushes smaller vendors out and slows open-source innovation.
Established players like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google can absorb the burden; startups should map their obligations very carefully.
