In Chicago, the inability to get an accurate count of how many Latinos have the coronavirus has real resource implications as local and state health officials respond to the pandemic. Although the state and city are flattening the curve, the number of Latino deaths in Chicago has surpassed the death toll of other groups but the resources to address these high levels of infection are still lacking.
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.
