In one paragraph
Illinois's SB 2847 (103rd General Assembly) would have amended the Criminal Code of 2012 (720 ILCS 5/17-0.5 and 5/17-2) so that certain forms of false personation may be accomplished by artificial intelligence, and would have added a definition of "artificial intelligence". It was not passed before the 103rd General Assembly ended (Session Sine Die, January 7, 2025).
