A Kinder, Gentler DOGE? Newsom Says AI Deals Will Make California More Efficient

Irina Raicu, director, internet ethics, quoted by KQED.

California Governor, Gavin Newsom, says that California is incorporating a DOGE strategy of making government more efficient but his AI focused version will be better "...because we’ve been doing it with people, not to people,” Newsom said.

“So much depends on which contexts and how genAI will be used,” cautions Irina Raicu, director of internet ethics.

Raicu argued the state government risks adding to the “pervasive AI hype that’s now endangering, among other things, the technology itself," and suggests that every state agency should ask itself a set of tough questions ahead of every pilot program.
