Pritzker Gives AI a Very Wide Performance Review
· New York time
Illinois Gov.

The political challenge is translating vast possibilities into questions people can evaluate: who has control, what protections apply, and how institutions respond. AI discourse often offers a choice between paradise and catastrophe. Government still has to work in the less cinematic middle, where the agenda includes privacy, accountability, and a meeting that ends on time.
