The European Commission has launched the AI Act Whistleblower Tool, enabling individuals to confidentially report suspected breaches of the AI Act directly to the EU AI Office. This secure platform allows whistleblowers to submit information anonymously in any official EU language, including supporting documents, and to monitor the progress of their reports without compromising their anonymity. The tool aims to identify potential violations that could threaten fundamental rights, health, or public trust, thereby contributing to the safe and transparent development of AI technologies in Europe. While robust confidentiality measures are in place, legal protection against retaliation under the Whistleblower Directive will apply to AI Act infringements starting from 2 August 2026; until then, confidentiality remains the primary safeguard for whistleblowers.
