Key Requirement
HB 2094 would have required high-risk AI developers to implement safeguards against algorithmic discrimination. Governor Youngkin vetoed the bill on March 24, 2025; no dedicated AI law currently in effect.
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.
