AI audit records offer limited proof, requiring a five-layer model

A single AI audit record, while verifiable through hash chains, only proves a limited set of claims, not the entire five-layer evidence model. These layers include the event record itself, source integrity, execution linkage, coverage of execution paths, and external result verification. A real-world example demonstrates that even a seemingly complete record might lack crucial details like explicit tool names or before-and-after snapshots, making it difficult to fully ascertain the event's execution and outcome.
