AI Whistleblowing Law: Best Practice Guide
The AI Whistleblowing Law: Best Practice Guide provides concrete legislative recommendations — grounded in the US Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds' standards, Transparency International's international principles, and AIWI's own analysis of SB-53 and the AI Whistleblower Protection Act. Notably, the guide introduces AI-specific recommendations absent from existing law, including protections for equity-heavy compensation structures, visa retaliation risks for non-citizen employees, and "duty speech" disclosures.

SB 53 protects whistleblowers in AI — but asks a lot in return
An opinion piece co-authored by AIWI founder Karl Koch and Abra Ganz of the Center for AI Risk Management & Alignment examines a critical analysis of SB 53's whistleblower protections and their practical limitations. The piece draws directly on AIWI's own research — including a survey of frontier lab employees finding that 100% were not confident their concerns would be understood or acted upon by government — to argue that the law places too heavy a burden on individual whistleblowers rather than on the employers themselves.
