Standing Up for State AI Protections and Whistleblowers
The Signals Network has joined a broad coalition of organizations and experts to defend stronger protections for anyone speaking up in the public interest. Together, we are urging Congress not to block state AI laws. Without these laws, it would be much harder for whistleblowers to come forward.
State-level protections give people working inside AI companies a safer way to raise concerns when they see risks. If these laws are removed, whistleblowers would face more obstacles to speaking up about issues that affect the public.
As the letter explains:
“AI whistleblowers have shown courage in raising alarms about risks to children, lack of oversight, and deployment without adequate safeguards. Now is the time to take the issues they have raised and the risks they pose to everyday Americans. Eliminating state AI laws would fail that test and strip away critical protections for whistleblowers at a time when they are urgently needed.”
Whistleblowers play an essential role in keeping AI safe and accountable. Their voices matter, and they need the legal protections that allow them to speak up without fear.
The Signals Network is proud to stand with all the groups and individuals working to defend these important safeguards.
