What it is
The Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, in plain language.
The Colorado AI Act imposes a duty of reasonable care on developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems — those making or substantially influencing consequential decisions in employment, lending, housing, insurance, education, healthcare and legal services — to protect consumers from algorithmic discrimination.
Deployers must run impact assessments, maintain risk management programs, notify consumers when AI decides about them, and offer appeal routes. Colorado is the template: a wave of similar state laws is following, so the program you build here is the one you'll reuse across the US map.
