Illinois Pushes for State-Level AI Regulations Amid Federal Inaction
Illinois is advancing eight bills aimed at regulating artificial intelligence, potentially setting a 'de facto national standard' if Congress fails to act. The state seeks to join California and New York in establishing comprehensive AI regulations. Proposed measures include requiring chatbots to disclose their non-human nature, prohibiting AI in grading and facial recognition in schools, and mandating transparency in data collection for personalized ads. The bills also aim to prevent AI from being used in setting rental prices and require developers to report on potential catastrophic risks.
