Law enforcement agencies in Michigan are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance technologies, including AI-powered cameras and predictive policing tools. While authorities emphasize the benefits of these technologies in crime prevention and investigation, concerns have been raised about privacy violations, algorithmic bias, and threats to civil liberties.

Community organizations and civil rights advocates call for greater transparency, oversight, and ethical guidelines to govern AI surveillance use. The debate centers on finding a balance between enhancing public safety and protecting individual rights. Legislative efforts are underway to regulate AI surveillance practices, reflecting ongoing public discourse about the appropriate role of AI in policing.
