Article 87 Signalement de violations et protection des auteurs de signalement
Summary What does Article 87 of the AI act regulation say?
This is a notably brief article that serves as a cross-reference provision, directing readers to existing EU whistleblower protection law.
Rather than establishing new rules, it simply confirms that the EU Whistleblowing Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937) governs both the reporting of infringements of this Regulation and the protection of those who report them.
Important points:
- The EU Whistleblowing Directive (2019/1937) applies in full to infringement reporting under this Regulation.
- Persons who report infringements of this Regulation are entitled to the protections established under that Directive.
- No new or separate whistleblower framework is created by this Regulation — it relies entirely on the existing one.

Considérant 172 Protection of whistleblowers
Les personnes agissant en tant que lanceurs d’alerte eu égard à des infractions au présent règlement devraient être protégées en vertu du droit de l’Union. La directive (UE) 2019/1937 du Parlement européen et du Conseil(54) devrait donc s’appliquer aux signalements d’infractions au présent règlement et à la protection des personnes signalant ces infractions.
