“Chicago is home to O’Hare International Airport, the second busiest airport in the United States and a primary point of entry for international travelers," said Dr. Sameer Vohra, Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. "Public health teams at O’Hare, including those from the CDC, the Chicago Department of Public Health, and IDPH, could face incomplete data on infectious travelers, inconsistent health screenings, and greater risk of disease spread through one of the nation’s key transit hubs.”
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.
