Sam Fisher, of the Illinois Press Association: "Newspapers have played a vital role in providing transparency about government through the publication of public notices. It’s worked for more than 150 yearsl...Conversely, there are nearly 7,000 units of government in Illinois. Only about half have a website. How efficient and effective would that be?"
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
