JB Pritzker is setting up a new group within state government to explore more regulations for artificial intelligence as calls grow across the country for new restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pritzker signed an executive order on Tuesday to establish an AI Cabinet made up of experts and representatives from several state agencies. The unpaid group, which will formulate policy proposals through 2027, will analyze and assess \u201cthe various risks posed by AI to the safety of Illinois residents and the critical infrastructure residents rely on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the latest move by Illinois to tackle state-focused AI regulation as the federal government continues to take a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/trump-administration\/trump-rejects-ai-guardrails-rcna597700\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hands-off approach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even as industry insiders sound the alarm on the technology\u2019s capabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher alleged in an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/anthropic-ai-safety-jacob-coxon-2ed549e07f2f941600a135070487d83d\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">explosive social media post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> earlier this month that AI companies are building a tool that could become \u201cout of control\u201d and pose a threat to human existence by 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cArtificial Intelligence has enormous potential to transform our everyday lives, but when experts and industry leaders sound the alarm bell, urge us to slow down, and ask for guardrails, we should listen,\u201d Pritzker said in a statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cabinet will formulate policies and procedures to protect Illinois residents and public assets like water systems, education and information systems from threats posed by AI. It will also analyze \u201cemerging AI incidents and share lessons learned\u201d from them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advisory group will also make policy recommendations on risk management and assess the feasibility, timeframe and any other challenges for implementing them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cabinet will consider regulations tying data center incentives or operational approval to a company\u2019s ability to meet safety, accountability and transparency standards. It will also look into addressing strain on the energy grid from data centers, evaluating how state procurement and contracting practices can incorporate AI safety and accountability measures, and assessing if existing legal options are good enough to hold AI companies that cause harm accountable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Legislative action<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illinois lawmakers have already taken steps to regulate AI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priztker signed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/Legislation\/BillStatus\/FullText?LegDocId=197587&amp;DocName=10400SB0315enr&amp;DocNum=315&amp;DocTypeID=SB&amp;LegID=157797&amp;GAID=18&amp;SessionID=114&amp;SpecSess=&amp;Session=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senate Bill 315<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in July, also known as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/news\/pritzker-signs-landmark-ai-regulation-bill-that-aims-to-mitigate-risks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which increases transparency and accountability requirements for the largest artificial intelligence models \u2014 those that generate more than $500 million in annual revenue and are trained using massive computing power.
