Bottom line
- The Government Operations Agency (GovOps) states that it leads the state’s generative AI (GenAI) work under Executive Order N-12-23.
- The page lists ten documents and milestones from November 2023 to February 2025, with links.
Background
This is a short page of about 300 words on the GovOps website. It gives the purpose of Executive Order N-12-23 in one sentence and links the signed order. The rest of the page is a dated list of reports, guidelines, press releases and events. The page itself has no date.
Key claims
- “Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-12-23 to study the development, use, and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) technology throughout the state and to develop a deliberate and responsible process for evaluation and deployment of GenAI within state government.” (body)
- “The California Government Operations Agency is leading the GenAI work across the administration, and documents, reports and other milestones are available below.” (body)
- “Report: Building a GenAI Ready State Workforce – July 2024” (list)
- “State of California GenAI Guidelines for Public Sector Procurement, Uses and Training – March 2024” (list)
- “Benefits and Risks of Generative Artificial Intelligence Report – November 2023” (list)
Evidence and method
An agency index page. It gives no findings of its own. Its evidence is the list of linked documents, each with a month and year. The list also names a large language model (LLM) developer event (September 2024) and GenAI vendor partnerships (May 2024). Its latest item is a “Choose Your GenAI Journey” guide for state entities (February 2025).
Limits
The page does not summarize the linked documents. The library has not read them through this page. It gives no item after February 2025. It does not name Executive Orders N-5-26 or N-6-26, which Executive Order N-6-26 describes as later orders. One list item, the GenAI Toolkit of March 2024, has no link. The page does not mention research compute or CalCompute.
