Embedded evaluators are independent external experts placed within frontier AI companies to provide ongoing assessments and validation of a company’s safety, security, and operational systems, practices, and claims. [...] Contracts should contain specific provisions that protect embedded evaluators against retaliation in cases of good-faith reporting to any relevant outside authority. These protections should cover reports of concerns about misconduct or AI safety and security risks at any stage, even if a report goes directly to an outside authority without first—or ever—being reported to the frontier AI company.
