1 Co-Sponsor

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Requires a vendor who contracts for government services, grants, or leases or purchases of software or hardware to disclose if artificial intelligence technology is, has been, or will be used in the course of fulfilling the contract or in the goods, technology, or services being purchased. Provides that the disclosure must be provided to the chief procurement officer, the Department of Innovation and Technology, and the General Assembly. Provides that, if the role of artificial intelligence changes during the course of the contract, or if the vendor plans to use artificial intelligence when it had not originally planned on doing so, the vendor must provide a new or updated disclosure. Allows a State agency, at its discretion, to require that a vendor provide detailed information on the technology's capacity, data sets, and limitations on the use of artificial intelligence technology. Provides that the chief procurement officer may disqualify a vendor who fails to provide the required disclosure or provides false or misleading information from contracting with the State for a period of up to 2 years.
