# California governor calls for statewide generative AI training
In a recent report, California Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized the significance of preparing for the next generation of skills essential to thrive in the GenAI economy.
As outlined in the report, there is a suggestion that residents of California should have access to educational and training opportunities in GenAI:
“To support California’s state government workforce and prepare for the next generation of skills needed to thrive in the GenAI economy, agencies will provide trainings for state government workers to use state-approved GenAI to achieve equitable outcomes.”
It stated that this is considered essential in response to the significant employment impact indicated by recent reports on GenAI.
The report cited Goldman Sachs’ forecast, indicating that GenAI is expected to affect 300 million jobs worldwide despite the potential productivity gains expected to be achieved.
“As such, the State must lead in training and supporting workers, allowing them to participate in the AI economy and creating the demand for businesses to locate and hire here in California,” it noted.
It further stated that GenAI education initiatives should commence at higher education institutions and vocational schools.
