02 / In this sector

In a defense AI workflow

Michigan has no comprehensive AI statute; its AI-specific laws require disclosure of AI in political ads, ban undisclosed deceptive election deepfakes within 90 days of an election, and create criminal and civil liability for sexual deepfakes. Bills on state-agency AI governance and other AI topics were introduced in 2026 but none had been enacted as of October 2026.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
