Governor JB Pritzker called for a comprehensive federal digital protection framework that addresses privacy, Artificial Intelligence safety and data centers in his suggested 200-point national agenda for the new incoming Democratic Congress.
Pritzker’s plan includes strengthening digital privacy through durable federal privacy laws, establishing federal requirements for AI risk assessment, testing and monitoring, and promoting digital infrastructure by requiring data centers to be energy- and water-efficient.
Pritzker also mentioned that any federal action should build on state leadership and not override what Illinois and other states have already done on these topics.
