Legislation to create state AI advisor moving forward
The director of the California Department of Technology will have authority to hire a new advisor on the uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in state government if the governor approves a measure that earlier this week passed both houses of the Legislature. The new position will advise the department on "incorporating artificial intelligence into state information technology strategic plans, policies, standards, and enterprise architecture."
