Michigan has 12 tracked bills on artificial intelligence and data centers: 12 in committee.
4 local jurisdictions in Michigan have recorded council or county action.
Michigan's legislature is actively debating a broad but fragmented AI and data policy agenda, with particular attention to protecting vulnerable populations — including a proposed ban on companion chatbots for minors (SB0760) and a kids' online code (SB0758) — alongside worker protections that would restrict employer use of automated decision tools (HB5579). The state is also navigating tension around data center incentives, with bills tied to restructuring the Michigan Strategic Fund raising questions about how aggressively the state will compete for AI infrastructure investment. None of these measures have cleared committee, leaving Michigan without enacted guardrails even as the scope of proposed regulation signals growing legislative concern.
