Like the car, artificial intelligence promises to reshape human experience, vastly improving how we work, play and even operate our vehicles. But, just as the car did before it, this new innovation presents new risks. #AI #POTUS sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/art…

Kinda cool but also thinking, stay in your lane, #AI.
Proving the current advanced state of #artificialintelligence, I enlisted a machine to generate the language of this landmark CA resolution -- as well as this press release announcing its introduction. #AIBillofRights @POTUS #AI sd03.senate.ca.gov/news/2023…

#DataPrivacyWeek is about raising awareness of privacy threats as well as your rights as a consumer to protect yourself. Fortunately, California has been a leader in adopting safeguards without stifling innovation. #DataPrivacyDay @CalPrivacy sd03.senate.ca.gov/news/2023…

With the increasing destruction and loss of life caused by climate-driven wildfires, we must ramp up prevention – and prescribed fire is a proven way to do that. Thanks to @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom for signing #SB926! @nature_org sd03.senate.ca.gov/news/2022…

Hey #firetwitter friends, I wanted to alert you that SB-926 (@SenBillDodd), a bill that, if signed, will establish the first (pilot) prescribed fire claims fund, has passed the CA Legislature and is on @GavinNewsom's desk.

Great to secure these funds for @CountyofNapa #wildfire and #water projects to make us safer and improve quality of life. Also helps our most valuable asset – our kids! @StHelenaCA @GreatFutures @FireWiseNapa @AlfredoPedrozaR @dianeldillon @LakeBerryessa sd03.senate.ca.gov/news/2022…

We must do all we can to close the #digitaldivide, which is driven in part by a lack of internet access. My #SB717 would examine roadblocks to affordable service and make recommendations on how to increase connectivity for all Californians. mercurynews.com/2022/07/15/o…

Feeling fortunate to have spent time in the Capitol a few years ago with California icon Norm Mineta. He was a great congressman and public servant who broke barriers as the first Asian American U.S. cabinet secretary.

I stand in support of a woman's right to choose. And I'm honored to co-author legislation with @GavinNewsom, @SenToniAtkins and @RendonAnthony to enshrine it in state law. #RoeVWade #PPFA sd03.senate.ca.gov/news/2022…

More than 1 million Californians will experience a gambling problem in their lifetimes. That's why I'm designating the month of March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month. We must bring attention to this addiction and connect people to treatment. More: sd03.senate.ca.gov/
