Auditing the Audit: Five Failure Modes in Benchmark-Validity Audits
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
arXiv:2607.02586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Governance frameworks ask AI providers and auditors for documented evaluation evidence, and perturbation-based construct-validity audits are a common form of that evidence. We argue the audits are themselves fragile: their conclusions can be silently manufactured by implementation details that readers cannot see in the reported numbers. We name five classes of pipeline failure and demonstrate each in a self-audit over safety benchmarks and…
