As AI R&D is increasingly automated, AI company employees may lose the ground-level context needed to whistleblow effectively. To help ensure that misconduct is still caught, we might want AI systems to whistleblow as well. In a new blog post, I explore how AIs could be whistleblowers and propose text that could go in an internal model spec🧵
