Executive Summary
Michigan is modernizing state government through an enterprise approach to responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) that emphasizes security, ethics, and public value. Built through extensive agency engagement and cross department collaboration, the state created a unified strategy that gives every agency a consistent, trusted path to explore and deploy AI responsibly. The model directly responds to agency needs for clearer governance, greater transparency, and improved workforce readiness.
Michigan’s enterprise AI framework replaces fragmented, agency specific experimentation with a coordinated statewide process grounded in transparent governance, practical guardrails, and accessible AI training. The unified intake and evaluation pathway reduces risk, accelerates time- to- value, and ensures that AI adoption aligns with cybersecurity, privacy, equity, and key mission objectives. Agencies now have a predictable method for determining- where AI can improve service delivery, reduce manual workload, and support operational modernization.
Before this strategy, AI efforts developed independently and without shared standards. Today, Michigan provides a repeatable operating model that improves alignment, consistency, and trust across government. The results are already visible. AI is improving access to information, streamlining administrative work, and supporting modernization initiatives – while operating within a secure and transparent governance structure.
Michigan is putting responsible AI into action through an evolving, scalable framework designed to
strengthen public trust and deliver meaningful impact statewide.
