California Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 947, the 'No Robo Bosses Act,' banning employers from using AI solely to fire or discipline workers. The law requires human review of AI-driven decisions and mandates written notice to affected employees. Newsom also issued an executive order rejecting the term 'superintelligence' and criticized the federal government's lack of AI regulation.

Newsom signs AI worker protections, rejects Trump's 'superintelligence' branding

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a package of AI regulations on October 1, 2026, including the No Robo Bosses Act (SB 947), which bans employers from using AI solely for firing or disciplining workers. The governor also issued an executive order mandating state agencies use the term 'artificial intelligence' rather than the 'superintelligence' label promoted by President Donald Trump. These moves coincide with Newsom’s final bill-signing session before his term ends in January.
