Attorney General of Illinois; supports state AI guardrails and transparency in the absence of federal oversight.
Frontier model AI systems have the potential to be used for many good things. However, due to their massive computing power, they also could cause catastrophic events, such as cyberattacks or the system evading control by developers or users. In the absence of federal oversight of this crucial area of security, Illinois is stepping up to fill the gap. I commend the legislative sponsors and Gov. Pritzker for this new law that will establish guardrails and bring needed transparency.
