In one paragraph

Illinois's SB 3180 (104th General Assembly) would create the Artificial Intelligence Data Privacy Act. Beginning January 1, 2027, a deployer would have to either (1) not let its AI train on a user's covered information and retain the training data indefinitely without first informing the user in writing and getting express written consent, or (2) set its AI by default not to train on that information unless the user is notified and affirmatively consents. The bill has private right of action provisions, and a violation would be an unlawful practice under the Consumer Fraud Act. Last action: re-referred to Assignments May 22, 2026.
