Governor Newsom signs first-of-its-kind executive order to prepare workers and businesses for potential AI disruption
California is preparing workers and businesses for the growing impact artificial intelligence could have on the workforce and broader economy. Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed an executive order focused on studying potential job disruption, workforce adaptation, and the long term effects of AI across industries. The order reflects a growing recognition among policymakers that technological change is accelerating and that states will need strategies to provide a stronger economic safety net during workforce disruption.
As automation and artificial intelligence continue reshaping industries, conversations around long term economic stability are becoming increasingly important. Universal Income would help workers remain financially stable through workforce disruption while ensuring Americans continue benefiting from the economic value created through technological progress.
