AI policy should be shaped by people

AI is changing how we do work in California. With those changes come a host of concerns:

  • Will it displace educated workers?
  • Will entry-level jobs disappear?
  • Will it widen the wage gap, especially for people of color?
  • Can we trust AI work product?
  • What about ethics and privacy?

Whether you’ve used AI at work or not, we want to know your views. It will help us inform policy that puts people first.

About the program

Engaged California is an example of deliberative democracy. It empowers you to engage with your government in a new way. It offers a space for meaningful dialogue. This builds understanding and shapes policy—before decisions are made.
