Senior Technical and Policy Advisor at Transparency Coalition; advocates accountable AI governance and state leadership.
SB 315 passed with overwhelming bi-partisan support because lawmakers recognize the same basic truth: the public demands safety and transparency from the AI companies shaping their future. Illinois has created a new template for responsible AI governance that we expect other states, and eventually Congress, to follow.
