Illinois Passes Nation Most Stringent AI Safety Bill Requiring Third-Party Audits

The Illinois legislature passed the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act with a unanimous 110-vote majority, requiring independent third-party audits of frontier AI models.

Illinois House of Representatives unanimously passed the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act on May 27 with a vote of 110 to 0, with the Senate previously approving it on May 21. This bill is the first nationwide legislation requiring frontier AI model developers to implement third-party safety audits. According to the bill's provisions, large-scale frontier AI developers must establish AI safety frameworks and publish transparency reports before model deployment. The bill also requires annual third-party audits, timely reporting of significant safety incidents, and whistleblower protection for employees. The bill has been submitted to Governor Pritzker's desk, who has stated he will sign this law. OpenAI and Anthropic publicly stated support for the bill, while trade associations representing other AI companies hold opposition positions. This marks an important milestone as United States states continue to advance in the AI regulation field.
