Key Takeaways

  • Requires a state study on artificial intelligence's impact on jobs and worker well-being in California.
  • Mandates the UCLA Labor Center to conduct the comprehensive workforce impact study.
  • Sets a June 2027 deadline for submitting study findings to the state Legislature.

Summary

Senator Smallwood-Cuevas's artificial intelligence impact assessment legislation directs the Department of General Services to commission a comprehensive study examining how AI technologies affect California's workforce and economy. Under the measure, the University of California, Los Angeles Labor Center would evaluate AI's influence on worker well-being, job quality, employment categories, population segments, and state revenue streams.

The Department must submit findings from the UCLA Labor Center study to the Legislature by June 1, 2027, accompanied by a notice to the Secretary of State documenting the submission date. The bill's provisions automatically expire once the report is delivered, reflecting its focused purpose of gathering data to inform future policy decisions. This temporary mandate aims to provide lawmakers with empirical analysis of AI's evolving role in California's labor market without creating permanent regulatory obligations.
