Illinois governor signs Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act
Governor J.B. Pritzker signs SB 315 into law, making Illinois the third state with a major AI safety framework, with a $500 million revenue threshold and mandatory reporting on large-scale risks.
California and New York sign similar AI safety laws
California’s SB-53 and New York’s Responsible AI Safety and Education Act were enacted, establishing reporting requirements for large AI models and potential catastrophic harms.
Illinois adopted a first-of-its-kind AI safety framework requiring developers of high‑revenue models to report on catastrophic misuse potentials. The law mirrors California and New York statutes, creating a de facto national standard that will profoundly impact corporate compliance and litigation risk assessment.
