Bill > HB4667

This bill establishes legal penalties for misusing artificial intelligence (AI) systems to commit crimes in Michigan, creating a comprehensive framework to address emerging technological threats. The legislation makes it a felony to possess, develop, deploy, or modify an AI system with the intent to commit another crime, punishable by 8 years of imprisonment, with mandatory consecutive sentencing and no possibility of parole or suspension of the sentence. The bill covers various scenarios, such as using an AI system to further a criminal act, or designing and distributing AI systems intended for criminal purposes, with penalties ranging from 4 to 8 years in prison. The law defines an AI system broadly as any machine-based system capable of processing data, generating content, or simulating human interactions, while explicitly excluding certain technologies like search engines and basic generative software. Importantly, the bill provides an exemption for law enforcement officers using AI systems in the official performance of their duties. Additionally, individuals convicted under this law will be required to make restitution, and the legislation will take effect 90 days after enactment. The bill aims to proactively address potential misuse of AI technologies by establishing clear legal consequences for their criminal application.
