Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., issued an executive order calling on California government entities to study development, use and risks associated with artificial intelligence technologies. The order requires agencies to draft risk and benefits analysis reports, "consider procurement and enterprise use opportunities" for generative AI, train state employees, and partake in "legislative engagement" on AI policy. Newsom said, "We're taking a clear-eyed, humble approach to this world-changing technology."
