POLICY AGENDA
Expand AI Literacy for Every Californian AI literacy means understanding how AI functions, recognizing its benefits and risks, and using it safely and effectively, and right now that knowledge is not evenly distributed.
Workers Must Share in the Gains.
The most valuable asset of our economy is our workers. They will be my priority. Technology should lift workers up, not leave them behind. Workforce investment and transition support are not barriers to progress; they are what make progress sustainable
Accountability First, With Industry at the Table.
Through a process that includes industry input but is not captured by it, we will set firm guardrails around real harms, including threats to critical infrastructure, child safety, and harms that could emerge when AI accelerates dangerous capabilities or operates beyond human oversight
A California That Brings Everyone Along.
Opportunity requires access, and access requires partnership. My administration will work directly with the industry that built this technology to ensure every Californian, in every zip code, has the tools and knowledge to participate in this moment
When I'm Governor, we'll make sure reproductive health care is always protected in California.
