- Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 189 which updates and softens Colorado’s previous AI discrimination law, ending a two-year regulatory debate.
- Starting Jan. 1, companies must inform applicants using AI in decision-making processes for jobs, college admissions, and loans.
- Individuals can request information about the data used against them and require a human review and reconsideration if rejected.
- The new law was reached through compromise by a task force including tech companies, labor groups, and business organizations.
- The law avoids strict preemptive risk assessments imposed by the old regulations.
- Colorado remains one of the few states to regulate potential AI discrimination.
- The law potentially nullifies an earlier lawsuit against the original AI regulations brought by xAI.
- Lawmakers indicate further AI regulations are still planned for the future.
