"MatterEXText5": "This bill would clarify that New York City’s Whistleblower Law covers the reporting of conduct related to the use or development of an artificial intelligence (AI) model. Under the bill, City officers and employees, and officers and employees of certain City contractors and subcontractors, who report conduct related to the use or development of an AI model that they know or reasonably believe presents a substantial and specific risk of harm to public health or public safety would have whistleblower protections. The Commissioner of Investigation would have to include in an annual report to the Mayor and Speaker of the Council the number of whistleblower reports related to an AI model received in the previous fiscal year. Additionally, this bill would update the requirement that certain City contractors and subcontractors post information at work sites to include information on whistleblower protections for reporting conduct related to an AI model.",
