CoinDesk published an opinion piece on Oct. 16 arguing that AI audits of large technology companies will be limited to what those companies choose to reveal. The article says audits under the White House accord will have little value unless auditors are allowed to decide for themselves what systems, prompts, or behaviors to test rather than relying on preselected demonstrations. The piece was written by Samuel Vance-Law, head of research at the Decentralization Research Center, and edited by Cheyenne Ligon. CoinDesk listed the publication time as 10:58 a.m. EDT on Oct. 16, 2026. The article was presented as commentary rather than a reported news story.
