Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed Senate Bill 315, a new law establishing a framework for artificial intelligence accountability and safety. The legislation, which passed with broad bipartisan support, is modeled after existing laws in California and New York.
It aims to address a perceived lack of federal oversight by requiring major AI developers to implement rigorous safety protocols and transparency measures to mitigate the risks associated with highly capable models. The law specifically targets large-scale AI developers with annual revenues exceeding $500 million.
