California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the first executive order in the US responding to the economic impact of AI on workers and small businesses.

The order sets three key goals:

  • Support workers in industry sectors affected by the AI transition
  • Prepare workers and small businesses to be ready for AI disruption
  • Advance policies so that not just Big Tech companies but all California residents can benefit from the wealth-creation opportunities brought by AI

California is a major US tech hub, and this executive order is likely to set a precedent in AI regulation and labor policy.
