category includes employees and Colorado resident job applicants, extending further protections than the Colorado Privacy Act provided.<\/li>\n<li>Contracts indemnifying developers or deployers against antidiscrimination violations are void as against public policy.<\/li>\n<li>The new law will take effect on January 1, 2027.<\/li>\n<li>SB 26-189 narrows the scope to exclude low-stakes uses and routine decisions of AI, focusing on consequential decisions in employment, housing, education, financial, health, and essential government services.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Covered ADMT&#8221; refers to automated decision-making technology used to materially influence crucial decisions, excluding simple tools like spell-check.<\/li>\n<li>Employers should pay attention to the definition of &#8220;consumer&#8221; and prepare for new notices and rights after adverse outcomes.<\/li>\n<li>The attorney general holds exclusive enforcement power and has a sixty-day cure window to avoid penalties.<\/li>\n<li>Private rights of action are not created, and existing antidiscrimination laws remain in force.<\/li>\n<li>Sectoral exemptions apply to insurers and HIPAA-covered entities, but not for workforce decisions related to employment.<\/li>\n<li>For employers, the law should provide more clarity by eliminating impact assessment and risk management requirements, with effective date March 9, 2027.<\/li>\n<li>Employers are encouraged to review AI tools, contracts, and compliance processes in preparation for the new law.<\/li>\n<li>Federal developments, including potential preemption, are worth monitoring, as they may impact the practical reach of state-specific AI laws.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado\u2019s New AI Act Targets Automated Decision-Making for Consequential Decisions https:\/\/ogletree.com\/insights-resources\/blog-posts\/colorados-new-ai-act-targets-automated-decision-making-for-consequential-decisions\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-26 17:54:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220599,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/ogletree.com\/app\/uploads\/Insights\/state-development\/colorado.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-220598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220598"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220598"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220600,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220598\/revisions\/220600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
