California Governor signed an executive order requiring state agencies to continue using "AI" as the official term for artificial intelligence.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Executive Order N-10-26, requiring state agencies to continue using the terms "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" regardless of any potential shift by the federal government to adopting "super intelligence". Earlier, on September 27, Newsom enacted a series of bills, including: banning California public officials from issuing meme coins, and barring trading platforms from listing meme coins featuring public officials’ images; cracking down on cryptocurrency fraud and money laundering, and establishing a victim compensation mechanism; and clarifying procedures for seizing crypto assets from transnational criminal networks. In his signing statement, Newsom specifically criticized former President Trump’s personal meme coin TRUMP, issued in 2025, noting that nearly 1 million buyers have suffered total losses exceeding $3 billion, while Trump himself profited around $636 million.
