Comment by Nadia I. Shihata

Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation and former federal prosecutor.
DOI recognizes the potential benefit of making the whistleblower law’s protection of AI whistleblowers explicit. [...] Adopting explicit protections for AI whistleblowers may encourage whistleblowers to come forward, facilitating DOI’s work to keep the City safe from any waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption that derives from the use of AI in City programs that may occur in the future.
