California governor signs executive order to prepare for job losses caused by AI

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to prepare the state for AI-driven job disruption.

State agencies are being directed to gather data, analyze sector-by-sector impacts, and identify workers and businesses at risk.

The plan includes retraining, job-transition support, and a review of California’s WARN Act to improve early warning and response.

The move aims to track employment changes sooner and could influence policy in other states and companies.
