Newsom warns AI replacing workers, signs order

 California Governor Gavin Newsom warned on Thursday that artificial intelligence (AI) is already disrupting the economy and replacing workers, saying California will act to ensure the benefits are more widely distributed.

"The economic disruption is here. Workers get replaced by algorithms," Newsom wrote on X, adding that "the system is broken" as "billionaires get richer." "We have to build a future that protects workers, supports small businesses, and ensures the new economy works for everyone, not just a handful of tech companies," he said.

The remarks came as Newsom signed an executive order directing state agencies to prepare for potential AI-related workforce disruption and develop policies aimed at helping workers adapt to economic change. "It's time to rewrite the rules to make sure THE PEOPLE benefit," Newsom stressed. Meanwhile, United States President Donald Trump said earlier that he had postponed signing the AI executive order slated for today because he disagrees with certain parts of it.
