Summary
Creates a uniform definition of “artificial intelligence” across multiple California codes and directs the Government Operations Agency and Department of Technology to coordinate planning around deepfakes and AI risks. Updates references to high‑risk automated decision systems inventory and certain local reporting about automation’s job impacts.
Healthcare Implications
Provides a common statutory definition agencies (including health and human services) can rely on when crafting or applying AI rules, reducing ambiguity for providers, payers, and health‑IT vendors. Supports statewide risk assessment of AI/Automated Decision System used by government programs that interact with healthcare (e.g., eligibility, fraud, benefits). Sets groundwork for future health‑specific AI guidance to align to a shared baseline.
