Illinois Passes Comprehensive AI Safety Law Amid Federal Rollback
Illinois lawmakers have passed Senate Bill 315, establishing robust new state-level requirements for AI model safety reporting and oversight, following a recent reversal in federal AI regulation initiatives by President Donald Trump. The measure, which awaits Governor J.B. Pritzker’s signature, mandates transparency and incident disclosure from large AI firms. The law is set to become the most stringent AI safety regulation in the United States if enacted.
