Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act (Consumer Protections for Artificial Intelligence)

Enacted in 2024 as the first comprehensive U.S. state law on algorithmic discrimination, it requires developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems to use reasonable care against algorithmic discrimination, with risk-management programs, impact assessments, consumer notices, correction and appeal rights, and disclosure when consumers interact with AI. The 2025 special session (SB 25B-004) moved its start date from February 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026. SB 26-189 repeals and reenacts Part 17 with a narrower automated decision-making framework effective January 1, 2027, so these duties are in force only for the interim. Enforcement is also on hold: in X.AI LLC v. Weiser (D. Colo. No. 1:26-cv-01515), a court order entered April 27, 2026 on the parties' stipulation bars the Attorney General from starting enforcement, including investigations, of SB 24-205 or legislation replacing it for conduct through 14 days after the court rules on xAI's forthcoming preliminary injunction motion.
