Whistleblower Protection Program Director
finds it concerning that the scope of who can be a protected whistleblower was narrowed, thereby threatening transparency and accountability in a booming industry with already little regulatory framework. [...] believes the broadest possible scope of who can be considered a whistleblower is always the most protective, both of the would-be whistleblowers but also of the people impacted by this technology.

AI Verified Relevant: on the source page, this quote is Margaux Ewen’s criticism of SB 53 for narrowing who qualifies as a protected AI whistleblower, and her call for the broadest possible whistleblower scope strongly implies support for granting whistleblower protections to AI safety researchers.

AI Verified The author finds narrowed protections “concerning” and says “the broadest possible scope” of who counts as a whistleblower is “always the most protective”; in the article’s context, that criticism is aimed at an AI-safety law that limited coverage to narrow safety-role employees, so it strongly implies support for granting whistleblower protections to AI safety researchers.

AI Verified Verified: the SF Public Press page at the provided URL shows the article title and a December 29, 2025 publication date, and its body contains both sentences matching the submitted quote, with [...] faithfully omitting only the intervening attribution between them. The article explicitly says that, in an email, Margaux Ewen wrote the statement and then presents the quoted language, so the source, date, text, and attribution are supported.
