In a groundbreaking move, Colorado has enacted the nation’s first Artificial Intelligence Act, governing the development and use of AI systems. However, the law’s current form is already facing mounting pressure for revision, with concerns over unintended impacts on consumers and businesses. The Act primarily focuses on high-risk AI systems, applying to those that make consequential decisions affecting education, employment, finance, healthcare, and other essential services. Developers and deployers are required to take measures to avoid algorithmic discrimination, with obligations including documentation, risk management, and consumer notifications. The law also grants consumers rights relating to AI systems, including public statements, notifications, and opportunities for correction and appeal. Amidst the uncertainty surrounding the Act’s final form, businesses should begin preparing for material AI regulation.
