Congress: Protect AI Whistleblowers to Protect the American People – Pass the AI Whistleblower Protection Act

Artificial Intelligence companies like Google DeepMind, and OpenAI are building artificial intelligence technologies that can create extensive current and near-future harms, as well as the potential for existential risk, as reported by whistleblowers. Employees at these companies are in the best position to alert the public and government about the risks and violations that unregulated AI poses.

Without whistleblower protections, AI systems that threaten public health and safety, jobs and the economy, and national security will continue to be deployed.

The bipartisan AI Whistleblower Protection Act will give insiders at AI companies protections they need to expose potential dangers and damage that unregulated AI will cause.

The bill:

• Prohibits retaliation against AI whistleblowers;
• Guarantees whistleblowers the right to have their cases heard by a jury in federal court and obtain back pay, reinstatement and damages.

Those who risk their lives and livelihoods to protect us must be protected.

Join the fight and sign the petition to tell Congress that we need to pass the AI Whistleblower Protection Act in 2026 – NOW!
