\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order directing state agencies to prepare workers and businesses for potential disruptions caused by artificial intelligence. Newsom’s office described the initiative as a first-in-the-nation approach. The order calls on state agencies to develop new policies, gather data, and identify early warning signs of workforce changes. The executive order also directs the state to explore job training programs, support for displaced workers, and ways for workers to share in productivity boosts from AI.It calls for the Employment Development Department to launch a dashboard showing AI’s impact across various sectors. UC Davis professor Hemant Bhargava, an expert in economic modeling and tech companies, joined KCRA 3 to talk about the order. \u201cThere will be massive disruption and upheaval due to AI,\u201d he said. \u201cExactly what direction it will take will depend on many choices that we make.\u201d He said the order recognizes that \u201cthere is a problem. It does not propose solutions because at this point they don\u2019t know what the right solutions are.\u201d Bhargava said that previous experience with \u201cparadigm-shifting technologies\u201d showed that \u201cwe are never prepared when it happens.” Bhargava said that at the moment AI is having a \u201csizable impact\u201d on white collar jobs. \u201cWork that could be done by two people in one month can be done by one person in a day,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we get to the point where AI technologies, large language models can marry robotics, you might see similar effects happening in other manufacturing jobs, blue collar jobs.\u201d He said where AI is already being felt the most is with entry-level jobs. That raises a conundrum because \u201cyou cannot get trained to do the next level if you never have an entry-level job. I think this is where the government and agencies have an opportunity to take actions that will mitigate that problem.\u201d See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
