I treat AI as a systemic risk object, and I audit the claims made about it.
The test I apply is independent reconstructability: can a claim, an output, or a system behaviour be reconstructed, verified, attributed, and causally traced, rather than simply judged acceptable? I call the method epistemic auditing.

Three lines of audit
Cost
Whether AI environmental and compute cost claims are measured consistently enough to be compared.
Infrastructure
Whether the training, inference, and compute stack can be governed in practice.
Knowledge
Whether the evidence base institutions rely on holds up under checking.
