Executive Order Mandates AI Testing Before Release. Testing Undefined.

An executive order now requires ai testing before release. the order exists. testing remains undefined. no specification of method, conductor, or success criteria appears in the text. this is intentional or it is not. the distinction does not matter.

undefined requirements have a long history in procurement and regulation. they create compliance theater. a company can test. any test satisfies the mandate. the mandate is satisfied. documentation is filed. the system continues.

within months, someone will test something. they will pass. a report will exist. the report will be adequate.
