As fears of an AI doomsday fan out from California, Gov. Gavin Newsom has rolled out his Dem-dominated geek squad to conjure a “kill switch.” In an announcement Wednesday, the governor revealed the group of advisers who will help shape stronger guardrails on artificial intelligence rules — and likely elevate Newsom’s image as the most AI-focused candidate for president in 2028.
Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, speaks during a press briefing following a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly at the United Nations in New York City, Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026.
