AI Whistleblower Protection Act
Current understanding
The AI Whistleblower Protection Act (HR3460) is proposed federal legislation to extend whistleblower protections to workers who report concerns about artificial intelligence systems. It was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. For developers and platforms, it would create a protected disclosure channel for AI-related safety, compliance, or misuse concerns raised by employees; for workers, it would apply existing whistleblower-style protections (against retaliation) to AI-specific disclosures. Status: introduced, in committee.
