Got an AI safety concern?

Make sure the world does something about it.

Staff at frontier AI companies are increasingly going public with concerns: an open letter, a public resignation, or to the media. Impact can happen quietly, through the right conversation with the right org, but sometimes it needs to be loud, so the public knows. Either way, it helps to have a serious plan before acting.

We've helped hundreds of whistleblowers and workers get heard via press strategy, open letters with teeth, public resignations that lead to change, op-eds, documentary and news outlets and in partnership with AI accountability orgs and impact litigators.

We know what's happening across the wider AI accountability landscape, meaning we know how to ensure a concern reaches whoever's best placed to act on it.

If you are a worker who wants to quietly figure out a strategy for how to get heard, either behind the scenes or publicly, we can help you create a solid plan. If you're an organization helping a worker who needs a public impact strategy, you can call on us too.

Reach out if you need help. Everything is confidential.

01 — Strategy
Before and after

Media strategy and framing before anything goes public, media training and press support once it does. This doesn't end the day the story runs.

02 — Connections
The right people, quietly

Lawyers, journalists, other workers, advocacy and accountability organizations — brought in through back channels, matched to what's already happening across the space.

03 — Impact
Long tail

Follow-up coverage, coalition partners and strategy, campaigns and leverage. A single letter or story rarely changes anything on its own — having a comprehensive strategy keeps things moving after the news cycle moves on.
