Research Scholar at the ILINA Program and Legal Research Fellow at the Centre for AI Risk Management and Alignment, researching AI liability and whistleblower protections.
The strongest proposal remains Grassley’s AI Whistleblower Protection Act (AWPA). It would provide the first federal whistleblower protections written specifically for AI employees, and the most robust drafted to date. Its defining feature is that it protects employees who disclose a “substantial and specific” danger to public health, public safety, or national security, not merely those who report a violation of law. That distinction is critical because many of the most serious frontier AI risks are not yet illegal.
