Electronic Frontier Foundation Director of Engineering Alexis Hancock said Illinois’ program requiring people to verify their information through credit tracking firm Experian is severely flawed. Among her concerns are residents with little to no trackable credit history, among other issues. “If you have frozen your credit for whatever reason, you have to unfreeze your credit with Experian in order to actually access a vaccination record from this Vax Verify system.”
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.
