Support AI Transparency

Lawmaker Letter:  

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to support the AI Public Safety and Child Protection Transparency Act, sponsored by Representative Daniel Didech and Senator Edly-Allen.

As AI technology rapidly advances, Illinois needs common-sense transparency requirements to ensure that the most powerful AI systems are developed safely and responsibly. This bill:

Requires the largest AI companies to develop and follow safety plans which address the risks their systems could directly contribute to the development of chemical, biological, nuclear, or radiological weapons or cyberattacks; or evade human control

Requires the providers of widely-used AI chatbots to develop and follow safety plans which address risks to the safety and mental health of users

Requires the largest AI companies and providers of widely used chatbots to report major safety incidents

Requires the largest AI companies to have an internal whistleblowing process in place

Requires the largest AI companies to engage third parties to verify their compliance with the law

Provides the Attorney General the ability to enforce the law, update key definitions as necessary, and seek civil penalties in court in the case of violations

This is reasonable legislation that supports innovation while protecting Illinois families. I urge you to co-sponsor and support this important bill.

Thank you for your consideration.
