Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday an executive order to study the development, use, and risks of artificial intelligence in California and within state government while educating the public about the technology.
Under the executive order, state agencies and departments are mandated to analyze potential threats to California's energy infrastructure through generative artificial intelligence , Newsom's office said.
The executive order also pushes for partnerships with the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University to study how California will advance further as the world's AI leader. The directive also encourages the state's engagement with legislative partners and key stakeholders to develop policies on AI deployment.
State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, welcomed the governor's executive order, saying California's leadership is"critically important" for responsible AI use. The California Legislature in August adopted an artificial intelligence-drafted resolution authored by Dodd, expressing the state's pledge to examine and implement regulations on AI use. It was the first AI-drafted resolution in the U.S., Dodd's office said.
