If AI companies want to claim that they are building the most world-changing technology to ever exist, their employees should be able to share concerns about risks to public safety along the way without fearing the repercussions. AI whistleblowing is largely unprotected by existing whistleblower laws, which focus on outright illegal activity. Chair Grassley’s AI Whistleblower Protection Act would be a significant improvement on this status quo.
