In a legal AI workflow
Illinois regulates AI through several targeted statutes: AI in hiring (video interviews since 2020; discrimination and notice under the Human Rights Act since January 2026), AI therapy limits (2025), and digital replicas (2024). In July 2026 it enacted the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act, which requires large frontier developers to publish safety frameworks, report incidents and undergo third-party audits.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits
Keep a record anyone can check
When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.
A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.
The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.
Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.
A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
