Gov. Newsom Signs Executive Order to Prepare California for Artificial Intelligence

SACRAMENTOGov. Gavin Newsom Sept. 6 signed an executive order to study the development, use, and risks of artificial intelligence or AI technology throughout the state and to develop a deliberate and responsible process for evaluation and deployment of AI within state government.

For decades, California has been a global leader in education, innovation, research, development, talent, entrepreneurship and new technologies. California has also established itself as the world leader in GenAI innovation with 35 of the world’s top 50 AI companies and a quarter of all AI patents, conference papers, and companies globally. 

As California is home to world-leading GenAI research institutions – the University of California, Berkeley’s College of Computing, Data Science, and Society and Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence – this provides a unique opportunity for academic research and government collaboration.

The Administration will work throughout the next year, in collaboration with its state’s workforce, to implement the provisions of the executive order, and engage the legislature and stakeholders to develop policy recommendations.

To deploy GenAI responsibly throughout state government and prepare for potential harms and remain the world’s AI leader, the Governor’s executive order includes a number of provisions and more information, which you can read in the link below.
