Feedback is being collected to decide on its future expansion.<br \/>\n&#8211; The technology department made an investment of approximately $62,000 to develop the pilot.<br \/>\n&#8211; The project is part of Gov. Gavin Newsom&#8217;s directive to explore the implementation of AI tools to improve state government operations.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State-built AI helps California employees find policy info https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/politics-government\/the-state-worker\/article314083154.html Publish Date: 2025-12-31 16:52:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":173504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/public\/latest-news\/mpzldl\/picture312984485\/alternates\/LANDSCAPE_1140\/CaliforniaCapitol.JPG","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20,21],"class_list":["post-173503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-general-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173503"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173503"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":173505,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173503\/revisions\/173505"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
