Pretty sure that does not cover a face database indexing your own photos/videos, running locally on your own computer. If it did, that would be extremely silly.

Yeah, that’s been a thing in photo software for at least like 20 years. I remember using it as a teenager for my parents
I think you're right in this case, but Illinois lawmakers are generally extremely silly, so I wouldn't put it past them.
Why would the law make exemptions for running the search on on a computer that has the database.
Because outlawing the local facial recognition that software like Lightroom and Apple Photos has offered for decades would be extraordinarily silly?
