Illinois shrank by nearly 80,000 people last year and over the past decade, analysis shows the state has 253,000 fewer residents. Illinois is likely to lose at least one seat in Congress, if not two, which diminishes the state’s power in Washington D.C. and the number of electoral votes for president.
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.
