Comment by Tracy Rosenberg
Oakland Privacy advocacy director
“We wanted those to be fairly broad and fairly standard,” she said. “Instead, it was winnowed down to only certain people that work in certain parts of an AI company — and only about certain kinds of threats that related specifically to catastrophic property damage or catastrophic property loss.” [...] “Someone has to have a crystal ball and to say, ‘I am going to whistleblow because I’m confident I can demonstrably prove that this particular safety risk that I am identifying would cause at least this much damage,’” Rosenberg said. “Because that’s what you have to do to protect yourself under this law.” [...] “If this is the only piece of AI safety that California will ever sign,” she said, “then I would say it’s nowhere near good enough.”AI Verified source (Dec 29, 2025)

Relevant: in the source context, Rosenberg is specifically criticizing AI whistleblower provisions for being narrowed too much—covering only certain workers and extreme harms—and says the final law is “nowhere near good enough.” That strongly signals a pro-protection stance on granting whistleblower protections to AI safety researchers, even though the quote does not restate the full policy verbatim.

For: Rosenberg says the protections should have been "fairly broad" but were narrowed to only some AI-company workers and only certain catastrophic threats, and she calls the final law "nowhere near good enough." In context, the article says she had supported an earlier draft because of its broad whistleblower provisions, so the clear implication is that she favors stronger whistleblower protections for AI safety insiders, including researchers.

The source URL is fetchable and contains all three passages verbatim, with omissions matching the submitter’s [...]. The article identifies Tracy Rosenberg as the speaker (“Tracy Rosenberg, advocacy director of Oakland Privacy”) and then attributes the quoted lines to “she”/“Rosenberg said.” The page shows the article published on December 29, 2025 (with a later March 10, 2026 update), so the stored author, wording, source URL, and date are consistent with the source.
