What this bill would do

The bill, known as the "AI Whistleblower Protection Act," aims to stop employment discrimination against workers who report artificial intelligence security vulnerabilities or violations. It covers both current and former employees as well as independent contractors. Employers are barred from retaliating against these individuals for reporting issues to regulatory officials, law enforcement, members of Congress, or supervisors. Workers who face retaliation can file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor or take their employer to federal court if delays happen. The bill also provides relief for mistreated workers, including getting their old job back, double back pay, and paid legal fees.
