Introduced House Brenda Carter (D)
Plain English Summary

Michigan House Bill 6392 establishes strict liability for companies that manufacture or distribute AI-powered detection tools, such as automated cameras. If these tools misidentify a person or vehicle, leading to law enforcement actions that cause personal injury, death, or property damage, the provider is held responsible. This liability applies even if law enforcement intentionally detains the misidentified individual or if the individual resists the detention, as long as these actions are foreseeable consequences of the error. The bill also prohibits providers from waiving, limiting, or transferring this liability through contracts with law enforcement agencies or government units.
