Colorado officials, including Gov. Jared Polis, seek a delay in the implementation of the state's artificial intelligence regulations until January 2027.
The Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, signed into law in May 2024, aims to regulate AI use in important decisions like hiring and lending, with a general duty of care requirement.
Despite significant stakeholder work and negotiations, the legislative session ended without reaching an agreement on the AI regulations, causing concerns among industry groups and consumer advocates.
Efforts to amend the regulations have faced challenges, with a compromise bill to loosen AI regulations and delay implementation being scrapped, leaving a potential special session as the only option for changes.
