Original title: Consumer Protections for Artificial Intelligence
SB 24-205
Summary
Senate Bill 24-205 created consumer protections for interactions with artificial intelligence systems, requiring developers and deployers of high-risk systems to use reasonable care against algorithmic discrimination. Its requirements were first set for February 1, 2026 and later extended to June 30, 2026. A 2026 act, Senate Bill 26-189, repeals and reenacts those provisions with new requirements on automated decision-making technology in consequential decisions, so the original provisions are no longer the operative framework.
Who it applies to
Applies to developers and deployers of high-risk artificial intelligence systems used in consequential decisions affecting Colorado consumers, and to any person doing business in the state that makes available an AI system intended to interact with consumers. Enforced by the state attorney general.
Key points
- Developers must give deployers documentation and disclosures about high-risk systems and disclose known discrimination risks to the attorney general within 90 days.
- Deployers must keep a risk management program, complete impact assessments and review each deployed system annually.
- Consumers must be notified of consequential decisions and may correct data and appeal adverse decisions with human review where feasible.
- AI systems that interact with consumers must disclose that the consumer is interacting with an AI system.
- The attorney general has rule-making and exclusive enforcement authority; violations are deceptive trade practices.
