Experts and whistleblowers discuss challenges of exposing risky behavior
On Thursday, October 16, ARI will host a virtual panel, AI Whistleblowers: Empowering Workers to Report AI Risks, with policy experts and whistleblowers from leading American tech companies. Currently, AI companies’ restrictive severance and NDAs create a chilling effect on current and former employees looking to make whistleblower disclosures to the federal government, including Congress. Featuring a moderated discussion followed by audience Q&A, this virtual panel will discuss the challenges whistleblowers face when sharing information on risky behavior from leading AI developers.
AI Whistleblowers: Empowering Workers to Report AI Risks Virtual Panel Time: 12:00PM – 1:00PM ET Date: Thursday, October 16, 2025 RSVP here
The upcoming panel features experts and whistleblowers from leading tech companies, including:
Moderator: Sophie Luskin, AI Researcher at Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy & Senior Tech Policy Analyst at Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto LLP
Jacob Hilton, former OpenAI employee
Holly Alpine, former Microsoft employee
Jennifer Gibson, Co-Founder & Director of Psst.org
The upcoming panel follows the introduction of the AI Whistleblower Protection Act by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). For more on why federal lawmakers must act to protect whistleblowers, read the op-ed from ARI President Brad Carson and AI researcher Kevin Frazier, Why We Need a ‘Right to Warn’ Now.
