Newsom signs AI kill-switch order, reversing earlier veto stance

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to study AI kill switches and other safety measures he previously vetoed, signaling a policy shift as he prepares for a potential 2028 presidential run. The order is a reversal of his earlier position, likely aimed at positioning himself as a leader on AI regulation. The move could influence state-level AI policy and national political dynamics, though its immediate market impact is limited.
