Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act Pending

The Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act (CAIA) is the nation's most comprehensive state-level AI consumer protection law. It requires developers and deployers of "high-risk AI systems" to exercise reasonable care to prevent algorithmic discrimination. Developers must provide technical documentation, publish public statements about their systems, and notify deployers when risks are discovered. Deployers must adopt risk management policies, conduct annual impact assessments, provide pre-decision and adverse-decision notices to consumers, and maintain public disclosures on their websites. The law is enforced exclusively by the Colorado Attorney General. Originally set to take effect February 1, 2026, the compliance deadline was delayed to June 30, 2026 by SB 25B-004 (signed August 28, 2025).
