Officials from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services said they continue to work on the issue with stakeholders. State Rep. Steve Reick said they’ve heard that before. “I don’t think you folks belong in this business,” Reick said. “This is not part of your portfolio. Your portfolio is to protect the safety of children. Not to license day care centers.”
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.
