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.
The federal government has not helped matters either. Just over two years ago the federal government allocated over $2,000,000,000.00 to install EV charging stations around the country. To date about eight, yes eight, EV charging stations have been built. Not exactly an inspiring start. Kind of reminds me of politicians who talk about climate change and rising oceans and then move to an ocean view mansion when they leave public office.
An excellent article showing how government industrial policy doesn’t work.
