Not In Effect / Not Enforced
On May 17, 2024, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed the Colorado Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act (CAIA), the first broadly scoped U.S. AI law. Similar to the EU AI Act, the CAIA takes a risk-based approach and focuses on high-risk AI systems. It requires developers and deployers of such systems to use reasonable care to avoid algorithmic discrimination in high-risk AI systems. Developers and deployers must disclose specified information to stakeholders. Deployers must also conduct impact assessments, implement risk management plans, and provide consumers with a mechanism to appeal adverse decisions. The Colorado Attorney General has exclusive authority to enforce and adopt rules implementing the CAIA.
On August 28, 2025, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 25B-004, delaying enforcement from February 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026.
