AI Judge changed title after evaluation, original title: "Illinois legislature passes SB 315, requiring major AI developers to undergo annual independent safety audits"
OpenAI and Anthropic officially endorsed the legislation.

BREAKING: Illinois legislature passes first-of-its-kind bill requiring leading AI companies to undergo third-party audits for safety issues. SB315 goes beyond existing legislation from CA and NY and will head to gov's desk. I spoke with sponsor Rep. Didech to hear more (below).
Positive users praised Illinois' AI safety audit bill as an important regulatory step while negative users dismissed it as a corporate psyop or a move that could benefit China.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
Illinois just passed one of the strongest frontier AI safety laws in the country.
OpenAI was proud to endorse SB 315 because it takes a thoughtful approach to issues like transparency, audits, and incident reporting.
With Illinois joining New York and California in passing frontier AI safety legislation, states are increasingly aligning around a common approach. Together, they are beginning to create a de facto national framework. We think that's a positive thing.
Illinois is leading the nation in holding Big Tech accountable.
As AI systems impact people’s lives, we need safeguards in place.
I look forward to signing SB 315 and working with the legislature so that AI, when used, is used responsibly.
*sigh* regulatory captura isn't just an Anthropic thing apparently

Thank you @GovPritzker, @DanielDidech_IL, @SenEdlyAllen, and the many other legislators who helped make this happen.
SB 315 will become the first law in the US to require independent audits of management of catastrophic risk by frontier AI developers.

Credit where its due - OpenAI's endorsement and support for SB 315 (alongside Anthropic) really helped show that third party audits on safety practices are feasible and needed.
I've criticized OpenAI's policy engagement many times when I believe it undermines their mission of ensuring that AGI benefits humanity (including their work on a liability immunity bill they previously supported in Illinois!), and I expect to continue to do so in the future as appropriate. But today was a good day.
Independent third party auditing requirements for frontier AI safety practices are finally written in law, and Illinois elected officials made it happen (especially @GovPritzker, @DanielDidech_IL, and @SenEdlyAllen). Plenty more work to do, but this is a very important step.
This is a positive direction! Very happy we endorsed this bill!
The bill requires companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to have third parties confirm they’re following safety standards. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he’ll sign. https://www.wired.com/story/illinois-pass-major-ai-safety-law-pritzker/?utm_brand=wired&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=aud-dev
Tired: "there's no law in the US saying AI companies can't check their own homework"
Wired (via SB 315): "there's no law in the US saying that AI companies can't check their own homework [until 2028, for companies that sell into Illinois]"
Progress! But we can still do better
Very exciting!
AVERI was pleased to endorse this, and the details are a good start (see pinned post for related thoughts).
Anthropic + OpenAI endorsing it helped a ton here - thanks to all involved in that.
Now - Congress, what say you?

@OpenAINewsroom @Miles_Brundage F no.
You are the least transparent AI lab on earth.
You hide your opaque games by using marketing and public displays of your “safety.”
This is all about controls and it MUST be fought.
You pushing a BS “safety” system on us all, with no one having a say… hard no. •
With bipartisan support, Illinois is on track to become the first state to require independent, 3rd party audits of large frontier AI developers' safety practices. I was proud to testify for @AnthropicAI in support of these important safety requirements. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/illinois-legislature-passes-historic-ai-bill-rcna347191
@OpenAINewsroom Announcement about safety cannot alter the fact: rerouting without transparency, excessive guardrails, lack of constraints on employee ethics, and the sunsetting of models have already caused irreversible harm to the user experience and trust. #keep4o community warned you.
@OpenAINewsroom The wolf doesn't endorse the shepherd out of love for sheep. OpenAI's dirty fingers smearing across this bill is BAD NEWS!!!
@OpenAINewsroom Three of the most liberal, democrat states.
You may as well change your logo to something more fitting.
@GovPritzker @DanielDidech_IL @SenEdlyAllen See the full text here. It was supported by 52/57 Senators and ALL 110 Representatives.

Excited that we endorsed this bill, and for an increased role for auditing to help increase transparency across the industry!

@OpenAINewsroom The most mismanaged, politicized states in the country want control over AI.
This will end well!
@OpenAINewsroom 🤢🤮 Thank gods for local models that still give people freedom of expression.
