State Rep. Harry Benton says creating effective policy to help Illinois residents continue to receive power while keeping it affordable will be a challenge. "With Illinois on track to being a data hub for the country and these quantum computing entities coming in, we, we have to power them, and we have to talk about expansion policy and doing things responsibly and doing things the right way."
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.
