Birthplace of modern tech<\/p>\n
California is home to 33 of the top 50 private AI companies in the world, and no state has taken more aggressive action to strengthen the safety, security, and consumer privacy of technology and online platforms.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Governor Newsom made California the first state to take action on Generative AI policy, announcing an\u00a0executive order<\/a>\u00a0to both responsibly adopt this technology in state government and begin studying its risks. The Governor convened world-leading academic experts to draft the\u00a0California Report on Frontier AI Policy<\/a>, providing the state with policy recommendations that helped lead to the Governor\u2019s signature on the first state legislation nationwide, the\u00a0Transparency in Frontier Technology Act<\/a>\u00a0(Senate Bill 53, Wiener) to help ensure that this technology moves forward responsibly. The law has since been replicated and modeled in similar laws adopted in other states.<\/p>\n This builds on other legislation signed by Governor Newsom to create\u00a0strong protocols for child safety<\/a>\u00a0and protections against self-harm,\u00a0crack down on sexually explicit deepfakes<\/a>\u00a0and require AI watermarking, protect\u00a0performers\u2019 digital likenesses<\/a>, and\u00a0prevent scams<\/a>\u00a0from AI-generated robocalls. In addition, it supplements the Governor\u2019s\u00a0March 2026 executive order<\/a>, which strengthened civil rights and privacy in California\u2019s procurement of AI technology and expanded California\u2019s adoption of AI to improve government services.<\/p>\n Fighting fraud<\/p>\n California fights fraud on all fronts. From\u00a0securing refunds for mortgage fraud victims<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0cracking down on deceptive practices<\/a>\u00a0by businesses, California is both\u00a0protecting consumers from fraud<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0addressing fraud against the government<\/a>.<\/p>\n See fraud?
