New California tool tracks AI-related job loss
California has launched a new AI-Unemployment Tracker to monitor and predict job losses caused by artificial intelligence. The tool aims to provide evidence-based data to help policymakers support workers in high-exposure industries.
Why it matters
This represents one of the first government-led efforts to quantify the real-world economic impact of AI on the labor market.
Governor Gavin Newsom isn't letting California "sit on the sidelines" as AI makes its way into the workforce. Announced today, the state will begin tracking AI-related job loss - and predicting where jobs may be impacted by AI in the future - as part of Newsom's executive order on generative AI. The data will be available for public use, via the new California AI-Unemployment Tracker, and will be updated with new work-related information monthly.
