In this episode of Gov Tech Today, hosts Russell Lowery and Jennifer Saha discuss a new executive order issued by the governor aimed at enhancing government operations' efficiency and effectiveness. They explore the role of AI in streamlining processes such as hiring and procurement, and the formation of a committee of business leaders, known as the California Breakthrough Project, to advise on these initiatives. The discussion delves into the realities and challenges of implementing these efficiencies, the potential political motivations behind the executive order, and the importance of including small businesses in state contracts.
