Illinois Locks in AI Safety Audits With Independent Review

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.

Illinois advances sweeping AI safety bill with mandatory third-party audits

The Illinois House and Senate approved SB 315, a landmark AI-safety bill requiring frontier AI developers to publish annual safety plans and undergo independent third-party audits, plus whistleblower protections and penalties for violations. The measure now goes to Gov. Pritzker, who has said he intends to sign it; if enacted, it would take effect Jan. 1. Supporters say the law strengthens safeguards against catastrophic AI risks, while federal action remains stalled and opponents warn of potential regulatory burdens.
