Schellman flags critical gaps in White House AI oversight accord

Schellman has flagged critical gaps in the White House's AI oversight accord, warning that the absence of defined independent auditors could produce inconsistent governance across the industry. The compliance firm said the burden of ensuring accountability will fall on stakeholders themselves rather than on a standardized third-party review process. The critique matters because the accord is meant to set a baseline for how AI systems are governed, and vague audit requirements could let oversight vary widely between developers. With no named auditors or enforcement mechanism, market participants will need to watch whether follow-up guidance clarifies who performs assessments and how results are disclosed.
