The accord Trump signed with AI chief executives last week leaves open who audits the companies.
David Sacks said professional auditors should replace groups like METR, and Anthropic then partnered with Accenture to build outside evaluators.

Investor Chamath Palihapitiya said EY will soon announce an AI audit offering built with his start-up 8090.
