Comment by JB Pritzker

Human avatar
Governor of Illinois; signed the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act in 2026.
As AI systems become more powerful and the federal government is unwilling to step in, states have a responsibility to protect our people from the dangers of AI while still harnessing the unique potential of the technology. People want protections from the risks of AI and Illinois is stepping up with a bipartisan, first- and most-protective-in-the-nation law.
