What it does
Concerns from tech and AI workers, at any level of completeness — explicitly including partial information, 'one line of code that is a red flag', or a general unease. Designed as a 'lower stakes way' to report without becoming a formal whistleblower.
Honest assessment
The best-designed entry point for someone who is not sure they have enough to act on — which is the most common real situation. The escrow model directly addresses the collective action problem that keeps individuals silent. Free. Growing institutional credibility (appointed a full-time ED in March 2026, covered by Semafor as the main nonprofit connecting tech whistleblowers for AI oversight). No public record of enforcement outcomes, by design.
How to file
Deposit information into the secure escrow. The model is the key innovation: multiple people can contribute pieces of a puzzle, and Psst determines whether actionable evidence exists across depositors before anyone has to expose themselves individually. You then receive guidance on appropriate disclosure channels.
Format
Whatever you have — documents, notes, a description of a concern.
Timing
Rolling.
What happens after
Psst assesses, advises on next steps, and can connect you onward to counsel or to coordinated disclosure.
What it accepts
Concerns from tech and AI workers, at any level of completeness — explicitly including partial information, 'one line of code that is a red flag', or a general unease. Designed as a 'lower stakes way' to report without becoming a formal whistleblower.
What it does not accept
It is not a regulator and cannot take enforcement action. It will not publish on your behalf without your decision.
