Governor Gavin Newsom of California is looking to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to address key issues facing the state. Specifically, the state is seeking developers to create GenAI solutions that can help alleviate homelessness, streamline housing development processes, and improve the state budget. The governor has invited developers to present their GenAI tools at a showcase event on September 26th, where they will demonstrate the capabilities of their solutions to address these challenges. This initiative represents California's commitment to harnessing the potential of GenAI for the public good and its leadership in the adoption and development of this technology.
