Illinois Locks in AI Safety Audits With Independent Review
TL;DR Summary
Illinois passed SB 315 requiring frontier AI labs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind to have independent third-party audits of their safety practices; if signed by Governor JB Pritzker, it would become the strongest U.S. AI safety law, with auditors potentially drawn from the Big Four or AI Evaluator Forum; reactions are mixed, with support from Anthropic and OpenAI and opposition from groups like Chamber of Progress, and it signals states taking the lead ahead of federal action.
