Bill > HB3529

This bill establishes the Illinois High-Impact AI Governance Principles and Disclosure Act, which aims to address public concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) systems by requiring businesses with 10 or more employees to adhere to five key principles of AI governance. These principles include safety (preventing harm), transparency (explaining system operations), accountability (identifying responsible parties), fairness (mitigating bias), and contestability (allowing challenges to AI decisions). The bill mandates that businesses using AI systems must publish an annual report on their website detailing how they comply with these principles, including information about system design, training data, risk mitigation strategies, and impact assessments. The report must be written in plain language to ensure accessibility for the general public. Businesses that fail to comply with the Act's requirements may face a civil penalty of $1,000. The Department of Innovation and Technology will be responsible for adopting rules to implement and enforce these requirements, with the Act set to take effect on January 1, 2026. The legislation recognizes the potential risks of AI systems, such as perpetuating biases and producing non-transparent decisions, and seeks to create a framework for responsible AI development and deployment.
