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.
Private companies get sued for this, in multibillion dollar settlements. The public sector wags their finger at them and pounces.
In the meantime, we have such antiquated systems in Illinois that an employee has to upload–manually–to a website, sensitive information.
All because public employees will not allow any “extra” funding to go to important things like replacing technology, equipment and improving the services for taxpayers.
I really do despise these public employee unions.
