The quote clearly supports whistleblower protections for AI industry employees and praises the AI Whistleblower Protection Act as improving transparency and accountability. That broader support implies support for granting such protections to AI safety researchers as part of that group.

The quote clearly supports "AI industry employee whistleblower protections," but it does not specifically mention "AI safety researchers," so the stance on the full statement is not unambiguous.

Verified. The exact sentence appears in Sen. Chuck Grassley’s official May 15, 2025 press release and is explicitly attributed to “Stephen Kohn, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of the National Whistleblower Center.” A National Whistleblower Center PDF letter dated May 15, 2025 and signed by Stephen M. Kohn also contains the same wording, using “AIWPA” instead of the bracketed bill name. The specific whistleblowers.org news URL you provided does not appear to contain this quote; that page quotes Kohn differently.

Updated 2024 TechTarget quote to a more recent 2025 statement from Stephen Kohn supporting the federal AI Whistleblower Protection Act (introduced by Sen. Grassley May 2025). Web search confirms the verbatim quote about the bill marking "a turning point in guaranteeing transparency and accountability over AI companies." Kohn is correctly identified as a whistleblower-rights attorney (Co-Founder/Chairman of National Whistleblower Center, partner at Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto). The "for" vote on "Grant whistleblower protections to AI safety researchers" aligns precisely with his explicit support for this legislation.
