Recent federal guidance prioritizes minimal government interference, and a strong free-market approach to Artificial Intelligence ("AI") regulation (Executive Order 14179, "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence"). Further, the federal "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights" states that AI systems should be designed, developed and deployed according to principles that bolster democratic values, protect civil rights, preserve civil liberties, and ensure privacy.  Considering this shift in regulatory philosophy and with no stable national framework in place, state legislatures like Illinois' are increasingly establishing their own policies and rules around AI usage, privacy, ethics, and accountability. For example, Illinois passed the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (820 ILCS 42/5) and the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act (Public Act 104-0054). Illinois has proposed numerous additional AI bills, which would regulate AI as it applies to insurance, consumer protection, consumer financial services, and other business sectors.​
