New York AG Launches AI Whistleblower Program Amid Rising Safety Concerns

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a confidential whistleblower program on September 17, 2026, urging workers at artificial intelligence companies to report activity they believe is dangerous or illegal. The initiative directs employees to file complaints through the state attorney general's existing online portal at ag.ny.gov/i-want/use-whistleblower-portal, establishing a formal channel for AI industry insiders to surface safety and legal violations without public identification.
