- The Colorado AI Policy Work Group developed a policy framework to protect consumers from the negative impacts of AI while backing the state’s response to AI regulation changes.
- The Colorado legislature passed the Consumer Protections for Artificial Intelligence bill (SB 24-205) in 2024, but its enforcement was delayed to June 30 through the AI Sunshine Act (SB 25B-004).
- Over 50 civil society organizations supported the AI Sunshine Act, but critics argue the state should wait for federal AI regulation.
- The federal government, including President Trump, criticized Colorado’s purported requirement to alter truth in AI outputs, but this language does not currently exist in Colorado laws.
- The Colorado AI Policy Work Group proposed a framework requiring notice to consumers when AI or ADMT is used in consequential decisions impacting areas like employment, education, housing, and public benefits.
- If adverse decisions are made, entities using AI or ADMT must provide detailed explanations and information on correcting inaccuracies and potentially requesting human review within 30 days.
- Governor Jared Polis expressed support for the framework and commended the AI Policy Work Group’s efforts in developing it.
