As the artificial intelligence industry continues to grow, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced a first-in-the-nation tracker to monitor AI-related job losses, with the initial released data showing no statewide surge in unemployment in at-risk fields.<\/p>\n

The tool stems from a May executive order by Newsom to prepare California for \u201ceconomic disruption\u201d as artificial intelligence continues to take hold, and directed leaders to explore policies to help the state respond to growing labor concerns. It was developed in conjunction with the University of California\u2019s California Policy Lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia has always been a place that embraces innovation while taking seriously the responsibility that comes with it,\u201d Newsom said in a news release announcing the tracker. \u201cWe\u2019re shaping the future \u2014 and charting the course for the nation. As AI advances, we aren\u2019t just watching from the sidelines; we\u2019re reimagining how we prepare California through strong governance and innovative policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dashboard will be updated on a monthly basis and Newsom\u2019s office said that it will allow the state to identify what interventions are needed, such as job-search support, health-coverage assistance and other training resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AI\u2011Unemployment Tracker provides us with a clearer picture of how AI is affecting working people and jobs, and where we need to focus support and training,\u201d Stewart Knox, the secretary of the Labor & Workforce Development Agency said in the release. \u201cBy grounding our decisions in data, we can respond early and strengthen pathways into good jobs to ensure California\u2019s workforce is able to adapt and thrive as technology evolves.\u201d<\/p>\n

While statewide unemployment claims may not have seen a surge in recent years, the data shows that the release of AI software to the general public did have some impact on vulnerable fields. Unemployment claims saw an uptick in the Bay Area and in technology sectors across the state since 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we are not seeing evidence of large-scale AI-related layoffs in California\u2019s labor market,\u201d said co-author Dr. Ben Hyman, Senior Researcher at the California Policy Lab. \u201cBut we do see patterns in certain regions like the Bay Area, in certain tech-heavy sectors, and among highly AI-exposed workers with college degrees. It will be important to continue monitoring trends for those workers, as well as others, so that policymakers can respond appropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n
