Colorado AI Regulation

Colorado has become a significant venue for state-level AI regulation through rules targeting surveillance-based individualized prices and wages and legislation revising its broader automated-decision-making framework.

HB 26-1210 focuses on the use of personal, online, biometric, and workplace data to influence pay or consumer prices, while SB 26-189 narrows and reshapes obligations for AI systems that materially affect consequential decisions. The framework emphasizes transparency, explanations, data access and correction, anti-discrimination protections, and enforcement by the Colorado Attorney General, while businesses and technology companies have raised concerns about scope, compliance burdens, and constitutional issues.
