Comment by Mary Edly-Allen

Illinois State Senator (D-Libertyville); lead sponsor of SB 315, a frontier AI safety and transparency bill requiring independent third-party audits of major AI developers
Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly and is like the 'Wild Wild West' with little to no guardrails in place. This bill balances the great promise of AI with its possible peril. This measure is about putting responsible safeguards in place before a preventable catastrophe occurs. Illinois has an opportunity to lead the nation by setting clear expectations for transparency, accountability and public safety.
