WIN partner, the AI Whistleblower Initiative (AIWI), has published a web guide for AI whistleblowers in the US and some global cases, seeking pro bono legal counsel and financial support. The guide provides a walkthrough, FAQ and a checklist of details from 3 trusted organisations that support AI whistleblowers. The 3 organisations include 2 WIN membership organisations and are:
PSST.org protects workers who take risks to keep the public informed about what powerful tech and AI companies are doing behind closed doors. Whether people decide to go public or stay behind the scenes, they provide pro bono strategic, legal, and financial support. Through ‘The Safe’, worker concerns can also be matched for potential collective disclosure, creating safety and strength in numbers.
The Signals Network provides free, customised support services to individuals who witness wrongdoing so that they can make more informed decisions about whether to speak out on issues that are in the public interest, potentially more safely blow the whistle and publicly share information holding those responsible accountable. Individuals they support can access a fund to financially support the costs of their whistleblowing.
The LASST AI Safety Whistleblower Legal Defense Fund provides grants to cover legal expenses from whistleblowing about the safety of AI systems. They have attorneys who can provide privileged, pro bono legal advice to help whistleblowers navigate the legal system, as well as support, such as pay for legal representation.
