Illinois Senate Democrats have introduced an eight-bill package aimed at regulating some uses of artificial intelligence after a lack of federal action on the issue.
Senator Bill Cunningham of Chicago told Capitol News Illinois that state lawmakers modeled their bills that address consumer protection, developer transparency and educational usage after legislation in California and New York to create a “de facto national standard.”
Industry advocates voiced concerns in committee hearings about state-led regulations creating a “patchwork environment” that is difficult to do business in and encouraged lawmakers to wait for federal action, but no such movement has been made in Congress.
