The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act has gained notoriety throughout the country and the world in recent years, as a growing cadre of class action law firms have used the law to amass billions of dollars in attorney fees from settlements from businesses terrified at the prospect of facing “annihilative” and “catastrophic” payouts at the hands of juries.
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.
The law is the law and must be followed by everyone.
Doctors and lawyers and wire points make their living off bad news.
