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.

If it is anything like what I have seen recently, it will be allocated poorly. Within two miles of my Illinois residence, two bridges are being resurfaced.

Complete government waste.
