Gavin Newsom
Gavin Newsom appears in Bytes: Week in Review - SpaceX’s IPO, Iran threatens U.S. tech firms and California’s new AI executive order as the California governor behind an AI executive order for state contractors. The Marketplace Tech episode says the order requires safety and privacy guardrails when AI companies contract with the state, including review of security, privacy, model bias, supply-chain-risk concerns, and watermarking for state-released generative AI material.
The source frames Newsom’s action as both procurement policy and federalism politics. [[PareshDave|Paresh Dave]] says the order responds partly to Donald Trump administration efforts to discourage or preempt state AI laws, making Newsom a state-level actor in State AI Procurement Guardrails and AI Governance And Compliance.
