HB 4667 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Crimes: other; use of artificial intelligence to commit certain crimes; prohibit. Amends 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.1 - 750.568) by adding sec. 411y.

HB 4667 prohibits using artificial intelligence (AI) to commit crimes in Michigan. It makes it a felony to develop, deploy, or distribute AI systems with the intent to commit other crimes (8-year sentence), or to use AI to further such crimes (8-year sentence added to the underlying crime). The law also targets those who design or distribute AI systems knowing they will be used for criminal purposes (4-year sentence). It excludes law enforcement officers using AI in official duties and defines "AI system" broadly to include generative tools like chatbots, but excludes basic search engines or plug-ins. The bill would require mandatory prison terms with no parole or probation for violations.
