Jim Kaitschuk of the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association said, “The safety of the citizens that are on the Eisenhower, or any expressway or road for that matter, has just become an unprecedented crisis. A lot of times, law enforcement doesn’t have the ability to do things that people would like us to do to make sure that they’re safe – and this is shining example of just that problem."
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.
