The California Policy Lab helps policymakers make better decisions using data. As questions about AI’s impact continue to grow, CPL is committed to bringing evidence to the conversation.

Looking ahead, we’ll continue updating the tracker each month, providing an ongoing evidence base for understanding how AI may be reshaping work in California. Explore the new tracker and report: https://t.co/zFJbFUI5Le (9/9) END
