Key Requirement
Employers must notify employees when AI assists in hiring, reviews, promotions, or discipline, and may not use AI that discriminates against protected classes (including via ZIP-code proxies).
Michigan has not enacted a comprehensive AI law. Proposed HB 4668 would require large developers of AI foundation models to implement safety and security protocols to manage critical risks, prescribe developer duties and whistleblower protections, and provide civil sanctions and remedies.
