Governor Newsom seeks to harness the power of GenAI to address homelessness, other challenges
What you need to know: Governor Gavin Newsom invites developers to help create Generative AI (GenAI) solutions for some of the most challenging issues facing California and its 39 million residents, including housing and homelessness.
SACRAMENTO — Governor Newsom today announced a new state effort to explore how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can help combat the housing and homelessness crisis, as well as support fiscal analyses for the state budget. The state is inviting developers to create and present innovative AI solutions to these challenges identified by state agencies for the benefit of Californians.
"As the birthplace of the tech industry and the fifth largest economy in the world, California isn't afraid of progress. We'll deploy every tool to address some of the most vexing issues of our time, including the housing and homelessness crisis. California has the technology and the innovative spirit — let's put them to use for the public good."
Governor Gavin Newsom
California is leading the way in the adoption and development of GenAI technologies. GenAI is already changing the world, and California will play a pivotal role in defining that future.
As part of Governor Newsom's GenAI executive order, earlier this year, the Governor convened a summit on GenAI with leaders from across industries – including technology, labor, government, and academia – to discuss how the state can best use this transformative technology to better serve the people of California. California is home to 32 of the world's 50 leading GenAI companies, high-impact research and education institutions, and a quarter of the technology's patents and conference papers.
State agencies and departments began analyzing potential uses for GenAI and developed critical challenges within state government, particularly focusing on issues that impact vulnerable populations. Today, the Governor announces the first step in the process to potentially adopt GenAI to address the following issues identified by state agencies:
These challenges follow the state's May announcement of partnerships with leading companies for five specific challenges seeking GenAI solutions, including new proofs of concept to explore how GenAI could help address challenges like traffic congestion and language accessibility, and more. Earlier this month, Governor Newsom announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with NVIDIA to collaborate on cutting-edge AI efforts to support students, educators, and workers learn new skills.

"The innovator community jumped at the chance to partner with the state to explore if GenAI can benefit our residents and our workforce," said Government Operations Agency Secretary Amy Tong. "This overwhelming response, along with the ongoing work, shows us that we can embrace GenAI's many opportunities while taking appropriate measures to approach it safely and responsibly."
On September 26, the state will host developers of large language models (LLMs) to present demonstrations of the most current functional capabilities of their GenAI tools related to these challenge statements. This is not a formal procurement process but market research, often used by the state to identify what's currently in the marketplace.

Today, the Governor announces the first step in the process to potentially adopt GenAI to address the following issues identified by state agencies:
- Easing homelessness and connecting people to treatment by better identifying available shelter and treatment beds, with GenAI solutions for a portable tool that the local jurisdictions can use for real-time access to treatment and shelter bed availability.
- Creating housing with more data and accountability by creating clearer insights into local permitting and development decisions and deploying tools to support every community in building enough homes for all its residents, including vulnerable populations.
- Supporting the state budget by helping state budget analysts with faster and more efficient policy, fiscal analyses across state programs, and policies to spotlight shared needs and statewide opportunities for more efficient and effective deployment of the state's budget resources.
These challenges follow the state's May announcement of partnerships with leading companies for five specific challenges seeking GenAI solutions, including new proofs of concept to explore how GenAI could help address challenges like traffic congestion and language accessibility, and more.
