Bill > HB4537

This bill amends the Michigan Social Welfare Act by adding a new provision that prohibits the state department of human services or any contracted health plan from using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to make decisions that could deny, modify, or delay claims under the medical assistance program. Specifically, the bill prevents AI from being the sole or primary basis for determining the status of medical claims, which is likely intended to ensure that human judgment and review remain a critical part of the claims process. By introducing this restriction, the bill aims to protect individuals receiving medical assistance from potentially arbitrary or algorithmic decisions that might negatively impact their access to healthcare services. The proposed legislation reflects growing concerns about the potential limitations and potential biases of AI systems when making consequential decisions that affect people's healthcare.
