Michigan Attorney General Candidates Debate AI
Michigan attorney general nominees Doug Lloyd and Eli Savit faced off during a debate hosted by WDIV-TV, with artificial intelligence among the issues discussed.
Lloyd said the attorney general's office should work to protect young people from manipulative interactions involving technology. His comments come amid recent litigation involving concerns over safety features and technology companies.
Savit said he would go further by pursuing rules under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act during his first 100 days in office if elected. He said those rules would address alleged misuse of artificial intelligence involving surveillance pricing, deceptive marketing and the use of personal data to set prices.
The debate comes as artificial intelligence regulation continues to be a major policy issue in Michigan. Recent reporting from WDIV has also highlighted legislative efforts to address AI-related risks and consumer protections.
