Key Requirement
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.
The most comprehensive US state AI law. As amended by SB 26-189 (2026) it takes effect January 1, 2027 and centers on transparency/disclosure for consequential automated decisions (the original algorithmic-discrimination duty of care was repealed). Attorney General rulemaking is underway; no final rules have been published yet.
