Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order calling for a thoughtful conversation about artificial intelligence and its potential harms. The order supports expanding reporting requirements under SB 53 (2025) for loss‑of‑control incidents and calls for third‑party investigations, especially for smaller developers. It also cautions against government‑controlled kill switches that could be used to retaliate against protected speech.
Why it matters: The order signals California’s intent to shape AI policy, impacting algorithmic decision‑making, privacy and cybersecurity practices.
