Colorado Task Force Releases AI Legislation Framework, Legislative Agreement Uncertain
AI Regulation Rewrite Framework Released
A Colorado task force, comprising consumer advocates and technology groups, released a proposed framework on Tuesday to rewrite the state's artificial intelligence (AI) regulations. This move has reignited public debate on how to govern the rapidly growing technology. This proposal marks the third attempt in two years to reach an agreement on AI regulation, and the second involving a specially convened task force.
Existing Regulations and New Proposal Details
Governor Jared Polis signed Colorado's nation-first AI regulations into law in 2024, with the broad understanding that these rules would prompt fine-tuning. Without any legislative action this spring, those much-debated regulations would take effect in June as originally written. The new proposal, unveiled Tuesday, would leave it to the courts to decide liability between the developers of AI tools and the organization that used the tools for any discrimination attributed to the use of AI, based on the circumstances of the individual case. Covered AI technology would include any technology that processes personal information and engages in computation to make predictions, recommendations, rankings, or other information used to guide or assist decision-making about an individual.
