Gavin Newsom Signs Executive Order To Address AI Disruption, But Donald Trump’s Own EO Is Delayed

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Thursday designed to address fears of massive job displacement from AI.

Newsom’s action came amid as President Donald Trump was preparing to sign his own executive order. But that ceremony has been postponed, Trump told reporters. A number of top tech executives were expected to attend the ceremony.

Newsom’s order directs the state to examine policies to assist displaced workers, including severance standards, employment insurance and transition support. It also calls for better tracking of hiring and payroll trends, and calls for modernizing job training programs.
