Abstract
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to create guidelines for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the state government, focusing on risk assessments and responsible AI use without specifying new regulations or spending. The move reflects California's desire to lead in shaping AI governance, considering both its potential benefits and risks, such as privacy and misuse concerns.
