Gov. Gavin Newsom staged a press conference to promote California's new artificial intelligence initiative aimed at improving government efficiency. He contrasted this program with the federal service reductions implemented by Donald Trump, suggesting that California's approach focuses on refining services rather than merely cutting costs. Newsom has shifted his political stance towards Trump over time, navigating a complicated relationship. He touted generative AI as integral for future government operations, including traffic management and tax administration, while acknowledging skepticism about the effectiveness of such technological implementations.
Newsomâs remarks on Trump, Musk and DOGE represent his latest political repositioning... to reclaiming the role of resistor-in-chief after taking heat from other Democrats.
Newsom contrasted Californiaâs AI program with Trumpâs government efficiency slashes, asserting that California can become more efficient by refining services, not just cutting them.
GenAI is here and it's growing in importance every day. We know that state government can be more efficient, and as the birthplace of tech, it is only natural that California leads.
Newsom emphasized that efficiency means more than cutting services to save a buck... but instead building and refining our state government to better serve all Californians.
