California Governor Newsom Rejects Trump's Artificial Intelligence Rebranding Decision

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order rejecting the federal government's "Super Intelligence" rebranding decision for artificial intelligence technology, requiring state agencies to continue using the terms artificial intelligence and AI in official documents.

Executive Order Step by Governor Newsom

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that artificial intelligence technology will continue to be referred to as "Artificial Intelligence" in official documents and institutions across the state. This move demonstrates the rejection of the new terminology introduced by the federal administration at the state level.

The executive order signed by the governor's office argued that this move by the federal government is an attempt at distraction aimed at covering up shortcomings in combating security risks.

Job Security and New Regulations

In addition to the executive order, Governor Newsom approved new laws imposing restrictions on the use of artificial intelligence in workplaces. These laws prohibit employers from relying on artificial intelligence in disciplinary or termination decisions.

Furthermore, regulations were implemented in the state making it mandatory for companies to provide prior notice in the event of mass layoffs due to artificial intelligence integration.

Decision of the Federal Administration

President Donald Trump had signed another presidential executive order changing the name of the technology to "Super Intelligence" following growing concerns regarding artificial intelligence safety.

Within this scope, federal departments were instructed to use the new terms in official correspondence instead of "Artificial Intelligence" and to abandon the older expressions.
