Menin asks about independent evaluators free of conflicts
Menin asks whether SpaceX AI uses financially independent evaluators with no ties to the company before deploying dangerous models; Castillo-Madrid cites White House accord commitments to internal controls and independent external evaluators but does not name any auditors.
Does SpaceX AI use financially independent evaluators that do not have any direct or indirect financial ties to the company before testing or deploying a potentially dangerous AI model?
As part of the White House accord, we agreed on certain agreements.
Company responsibility is one of them, internal controls, internal oversight team, and independent external evaluators is one of them as well, as well as board level oversight.
I guess yes or no, are there independent third-party validators who are validating, who are free from any conflict of interest?
who are validating the new models.
We're working on partnerships with independent external auditors or evaluators to assess model capabilities, controls, and safeguards.
And are you going to be disclosing who those auditors are?
That's not up to me, but I'll make sure that I'll get an answer for you.
Again, I think, you know, the idea that there is self-regulation is not something that is making people feel comfortable at all.
And so as a most rudimentary measure to have independent third party.
Validators who are free from conflict of interest, which is actually what one of our bills exactly does, is something that we believe you should be able to answer.
