The City of Chicago and the State of Illinois have recently amended a number of employment laws. These amendments include: adjustments to Chicago’s Human Rights Ordinance addressing sexual harassment; increased penalties under the One Day Rest in Seven Act; and expanded leave rights under the Family Bereavement Leave Act.
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.
