The AI Whistleblower Protection Act ... is the first piece of US federal legislation written specifically to protect the people inside AI companies who raise safety concerns. [...] We support the bill, and we want to see it enacted—ideally in a strengthened form that closes gaps to existing best practice. [...] Under the current definition, some of the people best positioned to detect safety failures at frontier AI developers fall outside the protected class. We mean here researchers employed by independent evaluation organisations. [...] We recommend expanding the definition of “covered individual” to include ... a person who has been granted access to a non-public AI system or related safety-relevant information by an employer under a written agreement.
