California Launches AI Defense for Critical Systems

Governor Newsom just ordered a new AI cyber defense program for California. This effort will sit inside the state's cybersecurity center to shield our systems from digital attacks. The goal is to keep essential services safe from hackers using artificial intelligence.

The state will use AI tools to find software weaknesses before criminals can exploit them. These tools will also help teams respond faster when a security issue occurs. It is a proactive step to keep the state running smoothly.

This plan also helps local governments improve their own security setups. California is the first state to launch such a large effort for its digital infrastructure. Officials hope this will keep public services secure against future threats.
