SB2847, introduced in the Illinois General Assembly, seeks to amend the Criminal Code of 2012 by addressing false personation that can be accomplished using artificial intelligence. The bill specifically defines 'artificial intelligence' as a machine-based system capable of making predictions, recommendations, or decisions based on human-defined objectives, influencing real or virtual environments. This definition includes systems that perceive environments, abstract perceptions into models, and use model inference to formulate options for information or action. The bill does not specify penalties or detailed forms of false personation beyond what is already covered in the existing code.
