"content": "\u003cp>California’s government will soon use generative artificial intelligence tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration announced Thursday the state will partner with five companies to develop and test generative AI tools that could improve public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among the first states to roll out guidelines on when and how state agencies can buy AI tools as lawmakers across the country grapple with how to regulate the emerging technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a closer look at the details:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What is generative AI?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as text, audio and photos, in response to prompts. It’s the technology behind ChatGPT, the controversial writing tool launched by Microsoft-backed OpenAI. The San Francisco-based company Anthropic — backed by Google and Amazon — is also in the generative AI game.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How might California use it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California envisions using this type of technology to help cut down on customer call wait times at state agencies and to improve traffic and road safety, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four state departments — the Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the California Department of Transportation, the Department of Public Health, and the Health and Human Services Department — will initially test generative AI tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax and fee agency administers more than 40 programs and took more than 660,000 calls from businesses last year, Director Nick Maduros said. The state hopes to deploy AI to listen in on those calls and pull up key information on state tax codes in real time, allowing the workers to answer questions more quickly because they don’t have to look up the information themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another example, the state wants to use the technology to provide people with information about health and social service benefits in languages other than English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who will use these AI tools?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The public doesn’t have access to these tools quite yet, but possibly will in the future. The state will start a six-month trial, during which state workers will test the tools internally. In the tax example, the state plans to have the technology analyze recordings of calls from businesses and see how the AI handles them afterward — rather than have it run in real time, Maduros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not all the tools are designed to interact with the public. For instance, the tools designed to help improve highway congestion and road safety would only be used by state officials to analyze traffic data and brainstorm potential solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State workers will test and evaluate their effectiveness and risks. If the tests go well, the state will consider deploying the technology more broadly.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"artificial-intelligence\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How much does it cost?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The ultimate cost is unclear. For now, the state will pay each of the five companies $1 to start a six-month internal trial.

Gavin Newsom’s administration announced Thursday the state will partner with five companies to develop and test generative AI tools that could improve public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among the first states to roll out guidelines on when and how state agencies can buy AI tools as lawmakers across the country grapple with how to regulate the emerging technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a closer look at the details:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What is generative AI?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as text, audio and photos, in response to prompts. It’s the technology behind ChatGPT, the controversial writing tool launched by Microsoft-backed OpenAI. The San Francisco-based company Anthropic — backed by Google and Amazon — is also in the generative AI game.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How might California use it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California envisions using this type of technology to help cut down on customer call wait times at state agencies and to improve traffic and road safety, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four state departments — the Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the California Department of Transportation, the Department of Public Health, and the Health and Human Services Department — will initially test generative AI tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax and fee agency administers more than 40 programs and took more than 660,000 calls from businesses last year, Director Nick Maduros said. The state hopes to deploy AI to listen in on those calls and pull up key information on state tax codes in real time, allowing the workers to answer questions more quickly because they don’t have to look up the information themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another example, the state wants to use the technology to provide people with information about health and social service benefits in languages other than English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state will start a six-month trial, during which state workers will test the tools internally. In the tax example, the state plans to have the technology analyze recordings of calls from businesses and see how the AI handles them afterward — rather than have it run in real time, Maduros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not all the tools are designed to interact with the public. For instance, the tools designed to help improve highway congestion and road safety would only be used by state officials to analyze traffic data and brainstorm potential solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State workers will test and evaluate their effectiveness and risks. If the tests go well, the state will consider deploying the technology more broadly.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

State revenues have continued to fall amid increasing inflation and a slowdown in the state’s usually robust technology industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Gov.

The companies will be paid $1 for their proposals. The state, which faces a significant budget deficit, can then reassess whether any tools could be fully implemented under new contracts.

He signed an executive order last year requiring the state to start exploring responsible ways to incorporate generative AI by this summer, with the goal of positioning California as an AI leader. In January, the state started asking technology companies to come up with generative AI tools for public services. Last month, California was among the first states to roll out guidelines on when and how state agencies could buy such tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generative AI, a branch of AI that can create new content such as text, audio and photos, has significant potential to help government agencies become more efficient, but there’s also an urgent need for safeguards and oversight to limit risks, state officials and experts said.

California’s approach, which also requires companies to disclose what large language models they use to develop AI tools, is meant to build public trust, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s efforts of testing the tools extensively and allowing state workers to provide feedback are some of the best practices to limit potential risks, said Meredith Lee, chief technical advisor for UC Berkeley’s College of Computing, Data Science, and Society. The challenge is ensuring the state continues testing and learning the tools’ potential risks after deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not something where you just work on testing for some small amount of time, and that’s it,” Lee said. “Putting in the structures for people to be able to revisit and better understand the deployments further down the line is really crucial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11976097,news_11983752,news_11979306\"]The California Department of Transportation is looking for tools that would analyze traffic data and come up with solutions to reduce highway traffic and make roads safer. The state’s Department of Tax and Fee Administration, which administers more than 40 programs, wants an AI tool to help its call center cut wait times and call length. The state is also seeking technologies to provide non-English speakers information about health and social services benefits in their language and to streamline the inspection process for health care facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tool is designed to assist state workers, not replace them, said Nick Maduros, director of the Department of Tax and Fee Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Call center workers there took more than 660,000 calls last year. The state envisions AI technology listening to those calls and pulling up specific tax code information associated with the problem the caller is describing. The worker could decide whether to use the information. Currently, call center workers must simultaneously listen to the call and manually look up the code, Maduros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it turns out it doesn’t serve the public better, then we’re out $1,” Maduros said. “And I think that’s a pretty good deal for the citizens of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tong wouldn’t say when a successfully vetted tool would be deployed but added that the state is moving as fast as it can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole essence of using GenAI is it doesn’t take years,” Tong said. “GenAI doesn’t wait for you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The rapidly growing technology has also raised concerns about job loss, misinformation, privacy and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-ai-explained-policy-technology-regulations-discrimination-d3226c9139d3d06af263e7ff467d0666\">automation bias\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While state governments \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/lobbying-artificial-intelligence-regulation-bias-discrimination-58eab95d279648e759f9099ca4249f00\">struggle to regulate AI in private sectors\u003c/a>, many are exploring how public agencies can leverage the powerful technology for the public good. California’s approach, which also requires companies to disclose what large language models they use to develop AI tools, is meant to build public trust, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s efforts of testing the tools extensively and allowing state workers to provide feedback are some of the best practices to limit potential risks, said Meredith Lee, chief technical advisor for UC Berkeley’s College of Computing, Data Science, and Society. The challenge is ensuring the state continues testing and learning the tools’ potential risks after deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not something where you just work on testing for some small amount of time, and that’s it,” Lee said. “Putting in the structures for people to be able to revisit and better understand the deployments further down the line is really crucial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California’s top court had tough questions for both sides on Wednesday morning about whether voters should be allowed to weigh in on a sweeping ballot initiative that would make it \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985267/why-cities-call-this-ballot-measure-an-existential-threat\">more difficult for state and local governments to raise taxes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure, sponsored by business executives and anti-tax groups, would require voters to approve all state and local tax increases — including retroactively applying to any tax approved since January 2022. It also would require the Legislature or local elected leaders to vote to approve all government fees, including library fines and park entrance charges. Dubbed the “Taxpayer Protection Act,” it’s being bankrolled by the California Business Roundtable, a group made up of top executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic state leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, sued to have the measure taken off the November ballot, claiming that it amounts to a full revision of the state Constitution, not just an amendment. Revisions must be placed on the ballot by either a constitutional convention or a supermajority vote of the state Legislature; this measure was placed on the ballot through the signature-gathering process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices seemed skeptical at times of both sides’ arguments during Wednesday’s proceedings at the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents, represented in court by Oakland-based attorney Margaret R. Prinzing, argued that the initiative is already hampering state and local governments’ ability to plan because they are crafting budget proposals without knowing whether dozens of taxes approved since 2022 would have to be delayed and put back before voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prinzing said the proposal clearly shifts power from elected officials to the electorate, making it too far-reaching for the normal initiative process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What qualifies a revision as a revision is that it’s a fundamental change in the structure of government and its powers. And that’s what’s happening here,” Prinzing said, noting that the court has previously described the power to tax as “the most vital and essential attribute of government, without which government cannot function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And what we would be talking about here with this measure is the Legislature would no longer have that power. It would instead be delayed through the voter approval requirement and would be in the hands of a body that is not the Legislature,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Politics Coverage' tag='politics']The court pressed Prinzing on why it should strip the measure from the ballot entirely, limiting voters’ ability to weigh in, instead of waiting to see whether it passes and then staying the law while the court decides its legality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Goodwin Liu wondered whether the proposal went so far as to be a constitutional revision, given the state’s long history of sharing the power to tax between elected officials and voters. Prinzing said it’s because the initiative would take away the Legislature’s power to levy taxes “and turn it into a power to propose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The voters and the Legislature obviously operate, occupy different spaces and in the area of taxation,” she said. “This measure would obliterate that distinction when it comes to taxes…. So it’s a revision, and it’s a revision that would occur in ways that would endanger the government’s ability to provide essential government services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Hiltachk, the Sacramento-based lawyer representing the initiative sponsors, pushed back. When pressed by Liu as to whether the ballot measure shifts California from a republican form of government, where elected officials are granted power, to a direct democracy, Hiltachk argued that the state has never had a purely republican form of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because our Constitution, since its inception, has stated that all political power is inherent in the people and has stated that the people have the power to reform and alter their government whenever they decide it needs reform,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk also noted that the power to approve taxes has been shared between the electorate and the Legislature “at least since 1911 and the enactment of the initiative referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shared power between the people and the Legislature, so there is no unilateral power of the Legislature to impose taxes,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk was pressed on whether delaying a tax proposal to get voter approval could tie the government’s hands in an emergency situation like the COVID-19 pandemic. And Liu pushed him on the provision that requires all fees to be approved by lawmakers, musing that it would strip power from the executive branch and potentially expand the referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So if a local senior center wants to charge a fee, right, for rental of its facilities, that has to be approved now by the city council, right, in order to do that?” Liu asked. “And it is thus subject to the referendum power. If you want to impose a library fine, and you don’t give individual due process to the person subject to the fine, that too right can be subject to legislative approval? I mean, this is vast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk said the measure would simply return California to a system that existed a century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have evolved into is an administrative state that has far too much power among non-elected bureaucrats who no one knows their name,” he said, arguing that the Legislature and local elected bodies should have to weigh in. “That’s accountability. That’s not a revision, and that does not impair essential government functions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court will decide by the end of June whether to allow the measure to stay on the November ballot. If it does appear before voters, Democrats and their allies will not only campaign against the initiative but also push two of their own aimed at weakening the Business Roundtable measure’s impacts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would require that this type of ballot measure pass by a two-thirds majority to take effect instead of the current majority required. Another would make it easier to pass local tax and bond measures related to housing and infrastructure, requiring only a 55% vote instead of two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It also would require the Legislature or local elected leaders to vote to approve all government fees, including library fines and park entrance charges. Dubbed the “Taxpayer Protection Act,” it’s being bankrolled by the California Business Roundtable, a group made up of top executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic state leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, sued to have the measure taken off the November ballot, claiming that it amounts to a full revision of the state Constitution, not just an amendment. Revisions must be placed on the ballot by either a constitutional convention or a supermajority vote of the state Legislature; this measure was placed on the ballot through the signature-gathering process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices seemed skeptical at times of both sides’ arguments during Wednesday’s proceedings at the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents, represented in court by Oakland-based attorney Margaret R. Prinzing, argued that the initiative is already hampering state and local governments’ ability to plan because they are crafting budget proposals without knowing whether dozens of taxes approved since 2022 would have to be delayed and put back before voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that’s what’s happening here,” Prinzing said, noting that the court has previously described the power to tax as “the most vital and essential attribute of government, without which government cannot function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And what we would be talking about here with this measure is the Legislature would no longer have that power. It would instead be delayed through the voter approval requirement and would be in the hands of a body that is not the Legislature,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Prinzing said it’s because the initiative would take away the Legislature’s power to levy taxes “and turn it into a power to propose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The voters and the Legislature obviously operate, occupy different spaces and in the area of taxation,” she said. “This measure would obliterate that distinction when it comes to taxes…. So it’s a revision, and it’s a revision that would occur in ways that would endanger the government’s ability to provide essential government services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Hiltachk, the Sacramento-based lawyer representing the initiative sponsors, pushed back. When pressed by Liu as to whether the ballot measure shifts California from a republican form of government, where elected officials are granted power, to a direct democracy, Hiltachk argued that the state has never had a purely republican form of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because our Constitution, since its inception, has stated that all political power is inherent in the people and has stated that the people have the power to reform and alter their government whenever they decide it needs reform,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk also noted that the power to approve taxes has been shared between the electorate and the Legislature “at least since 1911 and the enactment of the initiative referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shared power between the people and the Legislature, so there is no unilateral power of the Legislature to impose taxes,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk was pressed on whether delaying a tax proposal to get voter approval could tie the government’s hands in an emergency situation like the COVID-19 pandemic. And Liu pushed him on the provision that requires all fees to be approved by lawmakers, musing that it would strip power from the executive branch and potentially expand the referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So if a local senior center wants to charge a fee, right, for rental of its facilities, that has to be approved now by the city council, right, in order to do that?” Liu asked. “And it is thus subject to the referendum power. If you want to impose a library fine, and you don’t give individual due process to the person subject to the fine, that too right can be subject to legislative approval? I mean, this is vast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk said the measure would simply return California to a system that existed a century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have evolved into is an administrative state that has far too much power among non-elected bureaucrats who no one knows their name,” he said, arguing that the Legislature and local elected bodies should have to weigh in. “That’s accountability. That’s not a revision, and that does not impair essential government functions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court will decide by the end of June whether to allow the measure to stay on the November ballot. If it does appear before voters, Democrats and their allies will not only campaign against the initiative but also push two of their own aimed at weakening the Business Roundtable measure’s impacts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would require that this type of ballot measure pass by a two-thirds majority to take effect instead of the current majority required. Another would make it easier to pass local tax and bond measures related to housing and infrastructure, requiring only a 55% vote instead of two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

However, the rate delay for providing disability care is the largest savings in the Health and Human Services budget as Newsom and legislative leaders look to \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-04/newsom-and-democratic-lawmakers-release-17b-plan-to-cut-budget\">cuts, delays, and shifts in funding\u003c/a> to close a deficit estimated between \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-03-21/newsom-and-lawmakers-announce-plan-to-cut-at-least-12-billion-off-deficit-with-no-details\">$38 billion\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4850?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email\">$73 billion\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of legislators from both parties are asking Newsom and legislative leaders to preserve the increase.

She had been looking forward to joining a day program to make new friends but has yet to find a spot.

State officials said the Naloxone Distribution Project has given out 4.1 million kits, which have reversed a reported 260,000 opioid overdoses. The money has come from taxpayers and portions of a nationwide settlement agreement with some other pharmaceutical companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, California lawmakers agreed to spend $30 million to partner with a drug company to make its own version of naloxone. However, they ended up not needing to spend that money on this deal since Amneal Pharmaceutical was already so far along in the FDA approval process that it did not require up-front funding from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, California will use a portion of the revenue it receives from a national opioid settlement to purchase the drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naloxone is just one drug the Newsom administration is targeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, California \u003ca style=\"font-weight: var(--font-weight-reg)\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-newsom-insulin-pharmaceutical-prices-5326fdbba52efe68e160ae6c72a53e71\">signed a 10-year agreement\u003c/a> with the nonprofit Civica to produce CalRx-branded insulin used to treat diabetes.
