Gov. Gavin Newsom has emphasized the importance of technology in addressing California's housing and homelessness crisis, urging AI developers to submit innovative proposals to tackle these pressing issues.
Despite California investing $24 billion in homelessness programs since 2019, the state is struggling to provide adequate shelter and treatment for its estimated 181,000 homeless residents.
With a goal of building 2.5 million new homes by 2031, California is looking to AI technology to help streamline the local permitting process and analyze fiscal implications.
State officials are planning to engage with AI companies to explore how large language model technology can be leveraged for improving community welfare and enabling better governance.
