Colorado passes landmark AI discrimination law

Colorado passed the nation’s first comprehensive artificial intelligence protection law, aimed at curbing discrimination against the public that could result from the technology’s use while still allowing AI entrepreneurship to flourish.
The law (Senate Bill 205), signed by Gov. Jared Polis (D) on Friday, includes mandates for AI creators and users of “high-risk” AI systems, which are systems that contribute to a consequential decision, like employment.
The bill doesn’t take effect until Feb. 1, 2026. Polis said that before then he wants to see it amended to ensure innovation won’t be stifled by the law.
