Last month, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) led a bipartisan team of policymakers to introduce the AI Whistleblower Protection Act. The bill would prohibit retaliation against workers in the AI industry who raise the alarm about failures in AI safety or security. The AI Whistleblower Protection Act is an example of good AI governance. It recognizes that current whistleblower protections do not extend to the AI industry and levels the playing field by bringing whistleblower protections in the AI industry in line with other industries. After all, consumers reap the benefits of innovation, and whistleblower protections are a sensible step to keep that innovation safe for everyone. Unverified source (2025)
