Bill > HB5899

This bill, titled the "Artificial Intelligence Pilot Program Act," establishes a framework for state departments and agencies in Michigan to explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, which is AI that can create new content like text or images. It creates an Artificial Intelligence Governing Board, composed of individuals with expertise in AI, ethics, and the private sector, to advise the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) on the design and implementation of a pilot program. This pilot program, set to begin by January 1, 2027, will allow approved state employees, agencies, or departments to use generative AI, provided it adheres to strict guidelines to prevent illegal activities, unauthorized data access, privacy violations, and discrimination. The program will assess AI's potential to promote innovation, improve public services and efficiency, and benefit employees, while also considering risks to public trust and security. The DTMB will manage the program, including approving participants, developing training, and auditing AI usage, and will report on the pilot's outcomes. A dedicated fund, the Artificial Intelligence Pilot Program Fund, will be created to support the implementation of this act.
