Governor of Illinois; signed the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act in 2026.
While some states like Illinois have stepped up to advance AI safety, federal intervention and action is overdue. This moment requires clear and consistent coordination across the U.S. to protect our people. [...] This framework implemented risk identification, disclosure, and mitigation requirements on the largest AI developers in the state, including annual independent third-party audits and protections for workers who report safety concerns – an essential safeguard as safety concerns rise in the very development hubs where AI continues to evolve.
