In this series, we discuss the latest trends and topics that are shaping the technology sector.

We are pleased to share with you the tenth episode of our Tech Talks legal insights podcast series. In this episode, Hannah Wilkins, Deepa Menon, Chloe Themistocleous,  and Matthew Chapman explore how AI is reshaping the global whistleblowing landscape. 

 
They discuss:

  • Whether artificial intelligence can be considered a ‘whistleblower’ and the legal implications of this concept
  • Key risks for organizations, including confidentiality breaches and loss of privileged information, when AI systems act autonomously
  • Emerging legislative developments in the US aimed at protecting AI-related whistleblowers
  • Practical challenges arising from employees and employers using AI in whistleblowing processes, and strategies to manage these risks effectively
