The Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205) is the first comprehensive US state law governing the use of artificial intelligence in consequential decisions. It imposes duties on both developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems, with a focus on preventing algorithmic discrimination. The law introduces an affirmative defense for developers who maintain a reasonable compliance program.
Developers who create or substantially modify AI systems, and deployers who use AI systems to make or substantially inform consequential decisions in areas such as employment, education, financial services, healthcare, housing, insurance, and government services.
Enforced by the Colorado Attorney General under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CCPA). Violations treated as deceptive trade practices. Civil penalties up to $20,000 per violation. Developers who maintain a reasonable compliance program have an affirmative defense.
