The state of Michigan has enacted laws and/or issued guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Companies subject to Michigan law should be familiar with all relevant AI-related laws, regulations, and guidance, including those listed below.
The following laws apply in the context of elections in Michigan.
The Law requires that a “qualified political advertisement” generated in whole or substantially by AI include, in a clear and conspicuous manner, a statement that meets the Law’s requirements.
The Law prohibits a person from distributing, or entering into an agreement with another person to distribute, “materially deceptive media” where certain conditions apply. “Materially deceptive media” is defined as any image, audio, or video that meets all the Law’s requirements, including if produced by AI as that term is defined in the Michigan Campaign Finance Act. The prohibition does not apply where a specified disclaimer is provided.
