Some details about the data center proposed in Van Buren Township have been floating around for weeks. But the company pushing for it remained a mystery until Google put speculation to rest this week.

The new screening process will help doctors catch signs of heart disease earlier with the help of artificial intelligence.

Some legislators are concerned about the use of AI software to monitor employees in the workplace. The companies offering the software say it increases productivity.

This week, state Senate Democrats introduced a package of bills (SB 757-760) called Kids Over Clicks. Among other things, the bills would aim to ensure AI chatbots are inaccessible to children.

Librarians say they're facing an increasing number of requests to search for reference documents that don't exist as the use of artificial intelligence chatbots increases.

If built, the center would only be about 20 miles from another proposed Microsoft data-processing facility. The company bought more than 200 acres of land near Dorr Township last year.

A growing number of law enforcement agencies are using artificial intelligence, a U-M study finds. That includes automated license plate readers, facial recognition technology and other AI tools. The Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police says they won’t replace humans.

Officials say the chatbots are not going to replace dispatch workers but rather help them manage calls.

Data centers are expanding across the central U.S. to meet growing demand for artificial intelligence. That's raising concerns about growing energy demand and freshwater usage.

A satirical Facebook post that claimed Saginaw Bay had been renamed to “Bay Bay” went viral earlier this year, and not everyone got the joke. As misinformation, influencer news and AI-generated content blur the lines between fact and fiction, experts say media literacy is more important than ever.
