Compliant But Unsatisfactory: The Gap Between Auditing Standards and Practices for Probabilistic Genotyping Software

arXiv:2604.10875v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI governance efforts increasingly rely on audit standards: agreed-upon practices for conducting audits. However, poorly designed standards can hide and lend credibility to inadequate systems. We explore how an audit standard's design influences its effectiveness through a case study of ASB 018, a standard for auditing probabilistic genotyping software -- software that the U.S. criminal legal system increasingly uses to analyze DNA samples.
