Episode 88 — Audit AI vendor claims, contracts, and control evidence without getting sold (Task 10)
This episode teaches you how to audit AI vendor claims, contracts, and control evidence without getting sold by polished marketing metrics and generic security statements. You’ll learn how to challenge claims like “fair,” “transparent,” “secure,” and “state-of-the-art” by asking for definitions, test methods, limitations, and what the vendor will do when outcomes cause harm or compliance exposure. We’ll cover contract terms that matter for AAIA scenarios, including data ownership and allowed use, retention and deletion, breach and incident notification, model update notice, availability commitments, audit rights, and responsibility splits for monitoring and human review. You’ll also learn how to evaluate vendor evidence, such as independent assessments, security documentation, validation reports, and operational runbooks, while recognizing what evidence is necessary versus merely impressive. By the end, you should be able to answer exam questions by choosing the option that converts vendor promises into enforceable obligations and auditable evidence, rather than accepting assurances at face value.
