Gov. JB Pritzker could soon sign a massive tax credit bill on his desk that gives breaks to specific industries, like electric vehicle manufacturers, quantum computing companies and semiconductor manufacturers. “We continue to tax small businesses and individuals so we can hand out big money to big businesses. Corporate bailouts instead of taking care of the real job providers in the state of Illinois,” state Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer said.
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.
