California Governor Gavin Newsom has highlighted the importance of people staying at the forefront of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) by acquiring new skills and becoming familiar with emerging technology.
As described in the reportIt is suggested that California residents should have access to GenAI educational and training opportunities:
“To support California’s state government workforce and prepare for the next generation of skills needed to thrive in the GenAI economy, agencies will provide training to state government workers to use state-approved GenAI to achieve equitable outcomes. “.
He stated that this is considered essential in response to the significant impact on employment indicated in recent reports on GenAI.
The report cites Goldman Sachs’ forecast, which indicates that GenAI is expected to impact 300 million jobs worldwide despite the potential productivity gains it is expected to achieve.
“As such, the State must lead in training and supporting workers, allowing them to participate in the ai economy and creating demand for companies to locate and hire here in California,” he said.
Furthermore, he stated that GenAI educational initiatives should begin in higher education institutions and vocational schools.
