A measure introduced by Illinois state Sen. Dave Koehler looks to change what is traditionally included in a student’s “record” and would do away with destruction of the temporary record and make it permanent. The bill was brought forward because adults with disabilities are running into an eligibility roadblock when trying to obtain benefits from the DHS.
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.
