Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed an AI regulation bill into law, signaling tougher oversight of AI risk and new compliance work for enterprises.

Illinois has enacted a first-in-the-nation AI safety law requiring third-party audits of frontier models, raising new compliance stakes for major developers.

Senator Elissa Slotkin introduced legislation to codify into law that AI cannot autonomously decide to kill a target, cannot be used for mass surveillance of Americans, and cannot launch nuclear weapons — directly responding to the Pentagon-Anthropic conflict.
