加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托—— 加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）周三签署了一系列法律，旨在保护劳动者免受人工智能带来的威胁，包括失业风险和工作场所监控问题。
SOPHIE AUSTIN SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed laws Wednesday aimed at protecting workers from the threats of artificial intelligence , including potential job losses and workplace surveillance.
他还签署了一项行政命令，要求州政府机构继续将这项技术称为“人工智能”（artificial intelligence），而非唐纳德·特朗普总统最近要求美国外交官使用的“超级智能”（super intelligence）这一术语。
He also signed an executive order to require state agencies to continue to refer to the technology as “artificial intelligence” instead of the term “ super intelligence ” President Donald Trump recently ordered U.S. diplomats to use.
这位民主党州长在一份声明中表示：“人工智能应当创造更多机会，而不是以牺牲劳动者和家庭利益为代价。随着这项技术不断改变工作方式，加利福尼亚州始终将人民的利益放在首位。”
“AI should expand opportunity — not come at the expense of workers and families,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “As this technology reshapes the workplace, California is putting people at the center.”Newsom sharply criticized Trump at an hourlong event with reporters Wednesday for not passing comprehensive federal AI regulations at a time when industry leaders are warning about the technology’s risks. Trump said Tuesday that top tech leaders signed a voluntary accord to “self-police” AI development.
在周三与记者举行的长达一小时的会议上，纽森严厉批评了特朗普：在业界领袖不断警告人工智能潜在风险的情况下，特朗普仍未推动联邦政府制定全面的监管法规。特朗普周二声称，一些顶尖科技企业已自愿签署了自律协议，以规范人工智能的发展。
The governor signed a law this month requiring operators of AI chatbots to perform risk assessments before rolling them out and an executive order requiring the state to consult with experts to further improve oversight over the industry.
纽森本月还签署了一项法律，要求人工智能聊天机器人的开发者在使用这些工具前必须进行风险评估；同时，他还签署了一项行政命令，要求州政府与专家合作，加强对该行业的监管。
“We have to do a lot more in the absence of federal leadership,” Newsom said, leaving the door open for the possibility of calling lawmakers back for a special session to further tackle the issue.
“在联邦政府缺乏领导力的情况下，我们必须采取更多行动，”纽森表示，并表示不排除召集立法机构召开特别会议以进一步解决这一问题的可能性。
The news conference came on Newsom’s last day to sign or veto bills before he terms out in January. It also came weeks ahead of midterm elections that will decide control of Congress.
此次新闻发布会是在纽森任期结束前的最后一天举行的——他将在1月份卸任。此外，这次会议也距离决定国会控制权的中期选举还有几周时间。
Newsom involved himself early in that fight by leading Democrats last year in a redistricting battle to improve their chances of winning more House seats. He’s said repeatedly that the stakes are high if his party doesn’t succeed in November.
纽森很早就积极参与了这场斗争：去年，他带领民主党人参与了重新划分选区的行动，以提高民主党在众议院的席位占有率。他多次强调，如果民主党在11月的选举中未能获胜，后果将非常严重。
“There will not be a free and fair election in 2028 unless we take back the House of Representatives,” he said Wednesday.
“除非我们重新掌控众议院，否则2028年的选举将无法做到公平公正，”纽森在周三表示。
Asked about whether he’s set a deadline for himself on whether he’ll run for president in 2028, Newsom hedged, saying “that moment will arrive when it arrives.”Former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who, like Newsom, hails from the San Francisco Bay Area, has also said she’s considering running for the job in 2028. Newsom told CNN recently that he wouldn’t run for president if she entered the race. He said the two haven’t spoken since that interview aired.
当被问及是否设定了决定是否参加2028年总统竞选的期限时，纽森含糊其辞地说：“该来的时刻自会到来。”民主党前总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯和纽森一样，都来自旧金山湾区。她也曾表示，正在考虑竞选2028年总统。纽森最近告诉CNN，如果她参选，他就不会竞选总统。他说，自那次采访播出后，两人一直没有联系。
Newsom weighed in on a proposal to temporarily raise taxes on billionaires that will be on the ballot in November, which he’s consistently opposed. He said he respects supporters of the measure, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who are committed to addressing income inequality in the country.
纽森还就一项拟于11月付诸投票的、对亿万富豪临时加税的提案表态称，他此前一直反对该提案。他说，他尊重这项提案的支持者，包括佛蒙特州联邦参议员伯尼·桑德斯等人，他们致力于解决该国的收入不平等问题。
“He’s spot on about the balance between the rich and the poor,” Newsom said. “On this issue, we fundamentally disagree.”Newsom’s remarks came hours before a gubernatorial debate between Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton.
“他对贫富平衡的判断完全正确，”纽森说，“但在这个问题上，我们存在根本分歧。”纽森发表上述言论数小时后，民主党人泽维尔·贝塞拉与共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿将举行州长辩论。“你们会问我，‘你会观看辩论吗？’”他说，“不会。”
“You’re going to ask me, ‘Are you going to watch the debate?’” he said. “No.”
