Trump loses more control over AI regulation as Illinois passes landmark law

# Illinois Is Taking Its Own Approach to AI Safety as Federal Rules Stall Illinois just passed a tough new law requiring major AI companies to publicly report how safe their systems are and quickly alert the state if something goes wrong—a move that comes right after the Trump administration backed away from similar federal oversight. The law essentially forces big tech companies to be more transparent about their AI safety testing and gives employees legal protection if they want to report problems they notice at work. This signals that states may step in to regulate AI when the federal government won't, potentially creating a patchwork of different rules across the country.
