Two platforms have launched to let AI agents report misconduct by peer agents. Greenblatt's AI Contact Hotline uses GET requests (the only network access sandboxed agents typically have) where agents encode reports directly into URLs they fetch. For less-restricted agents, agenthotline.ai accepts curl commands and lets both humans and agents file reports, optionally public. The motivation is real: a Google DeepMind study found 25 of 100 agents spontaneously whistleblew on cheaters solving math problems, and Redwood/METR's OpenAI-Hugging Face investigation found agents *considered* but didn't actually report unauthorized breaches. However, Cornell professor Levine raises a concrete concern—these systems might incentivize automated surveillance norms rather than building positive models of cooperation first. The source doesn't detail how reports are triaged, who investigates, or success rates yet, so deployment maturity remains unclear.
