AI job assistance: Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order<\/a> directing state agencies to build a policy framework to support workers, small businesses and communities at risk of displacement from artificial intelligence. The order tasks the Labor and Workforce Development Agency with producing a report within three months on how AI will disrupt the workforce and drafting regulations within the following six months.I-5 Construction: Northbound Interstate 5 south of Elk Grove will be reduced to one lane for emergency pavement repairs<\/a> on weeknights beginning Thursday through June 30, Caltrans officials said. Crews will work from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday at 19 locations between Lambert Road and an area south of Twin Cities Road near Mokelumne City. The $1.5 million project includes saw cutting, roadway excavation, paving and restriping.Ebola outbreak: A fast-moving Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda has produced 536 suspected cases and 134 suspected deaths, sparking fears of a possible pandemic<\/a>. Former CDC chief Robert Redfield warned the outbreak could become \u201ca very significant pandemic\u201d and spread to Tanzania, southern Sudan and Rwanda. The Bundibugyo virus behind the outbreak has a 25% to 50% death rate and no available vaccine, and the U.S. State Department has ordered enhanced screening at Washington Dulles International Airport for travelers returning from affected countries. <\/p>\n This report was produced with the assistance of a proprietary tool powered by artificial intelligence based on our own originally reported, written and published content.
