Colorado lawmakers have nearly completed a revision to the state’s 2024 AI law, one of the first comprehensive AI regulations in the U.S., addressing tensions between consumer advocates and the tech industry.
The new framework, released by a state working group, aims to guide legislative changes and includes clarifications on how AI use disclosures must be made in high-stakes decisions.
The original Colorado AI Act drew criticism from technology companies for being too restrictive, prompting its delay and this follow-up revision.
Developers would be required by the updated proposal to share details about their AI systems, and users of these systems would need to notify people when AI influences decisions.
The proposed framework shifts from assigning sole liability in the original law to assigning responsibility based on the roles of developers and deployers in AI decisions.
Questions remain about the ability to pass the revised recommendations through the legislature, as the working group did not include legislators due to open meeting laws.
The potential adoption of the revised policy by Colorado lawmakers is expected to shape other states’ approaches to AI governance.
