Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: on the source page, Nathan Calvin testifies in strong support of SB 53 and explains that its whistleblower provisions would protect employees at major AI companies who identify and report serious AI risks from retaliation. That is directly about granting whistleblower protections to people doing AI safety/risk work, so a stance on the complete statement is determinable.

AI Verified He explicitly supports the bill's whistleblower protections, calling them "critically important" and saying SB 53 would protect people who report serious AI risks from retaliation; in context he is testifying "in strong support of SB 53," so this strongly implies support for granting such protections to AI safety researchers, though the source speaks more broadly of employees at advanced AI labs.
