"California's always been the birthplace of innovation. But we also understand the flip side: in the wrong hands, innovation can be misused in ways that put people at risk."
"While others in Washington are designing policy and creating contracts in the shadow of misuse, we're focused on doing this the right way."
"Newsom's AI order aims to raise the bar for AI companies seeking to do business with the state, making procurement standards stronger."
"The order also enables California to separate the procurement authorization process from the federal government's if needed."
California is taking proactive steps in AI regulation, with Governor Gavin Newsom signing an executive order and state legislators advancing AI bills. This move comes as the Trump administration pushes for a national AI standard that could override state laws. Newsom's order aims to enhance procurement standards for AI companies, requiring them to address issues like illegal content and model bias. Despite these advancements, California remains influenced by Big Tech, highlighting the ongoing tension between innovation and regulation.
