Key Requirement
Washington has not enacted a comprehensive AI law — its high-risk AI bill (HB 2157) died in committee. Only narrow measures are law, including AI companion-chatbot safeguards (HB 2225) and AI content-provenance disclosure by large providers (HB 1170).
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.
