Full Legal Analysis
HB5228 amends the Illinois Procurement Code to require vendors to disclose the use of artificial intelligence technology in government contracts. This includes any current, past, or future use of AI in the services, goods, or technology being provided. Vendors must submit this disclosure to the chief procurement officer, the Department of Innovation and Technology, and the General Assembly. If there are changes in the role of AI during the contract, or if AI is to be used when it was not initially planned, an updated disclosure is required. State agencies may request detailed information about the AI technology's capabilities, data sets, and limitations. The chief procurement officer has the authority to disqualify vendors who fail to provide the necessary disclosures or who submit false or misleading information, with a potential disqualification period of up to two years. This bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in government contracts involving AI technology, aligning with broader trends in technology regulation.
