This bill creates the Professional AI Oversight Act, establishing disclosure requirements for interactions with artificial intelligence in trade and commerce.

  • 815 ILCS 505/2MMMM

    Sec. 2MMMM. Required disclosure of the use of artificial intelligence to engage in trade and commerce. (a) As used in this Section, "artificial intelligence" has the meaning given to that term in Section 2-101 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. (b) It is an unlawful practice within the meaning of this Act for any person to use, prompt, or otherwise cause artificial intelligence to interact with a person while engaging in trade and commerce without clearly and conspicuously disclosing to the person with whom the artificial intelligence interacts, if asked or prompted by that person, that the person is interacting with artificial intelligence and not a human.

    This addition establishes that businesses must disclose to individuals when they are interacting with AI instead of a human.

  • 815 ILCS 505/2MMMM

    This provision establishes penalties for violations of the act, up to $2,500.

  • 815 ILCS 505/2MMMM

    The Department's order shall constitute a judgment and may be filed and executed in the same manner as any judgment from a court of record.
