Bill Summary
The bill establishes that the use of artificial intelligence systems or required disclosure artificial intelligence systems (artificial intelligence systems) must comply with the "Colorado Consumer Protection Act". The attorney general may bring a claim against a developer or a deployer that uses an artificial intelligence system in a way that violates the "Colorado Consumer Protection Act". A developer or a deployer of an artificial intelligence system must disclose to a consumer when the consumer is interacting with the artificial intelligence system and not with a human in certain circumstances. The bill establishes certain requirements for claims brought by the attorney general and parameters for court orders resulting from those claims. The attorney general may adopt rules for the implementation and enforcement of this provision of the bill. A developer of an artificial intelligence system is also subject to the provisions of the "Colorado Anti-discrimination Act" if the artificial intelligence system is deployed in a way that violates the "Colorado Anti-discrimination Act". An individual may file a complaint with the Colorado civil rights division against the developer if the developer's artificial intelligence system discriminates against the individual in certain circumstances. The bill requires that contracts entered into by a Colorado public school, a state agency, or other public entity comply with the provisions of the "Colorado Consumer Protection Act" or the "Colorado Anti-discrimination Act" in relation to the use and deployment of artificial intelligence systems and that a contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless a state agency or public entity.
AI Summary
This bill amends Colorado's consumer protection laws to establish comprehensive guidelines for the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, with a focus on preventing algorithmic discrimination. The bill, which will take effect on October 1, 2026, requires AI developers to use reasonable care to protect consumers from potential discriminatory risks and mandates detailed documentation and disclosure requirements. Developers must provide impact assessments, disclose known risks of algorithmic discrimination, and make key information available to deployers. Similarly, AI deployers must implement risk management policies, conduct annual impact assessments, and disclose when consumers are interacting with an AI system. The bill empowers the Colorado Attorney General to enforce these provisions, allowing for investigation and potential action against developers or deployers who violate the requirements. Importantly, the bill extends protections to ensure that AI systems used in public entities like schools and state agencies comply with consumer protection and anti-discrimination standards, with contractors required to indemnify public entities. The legislation aims to increase transparency, accountability, and fairness in AI interactions, recognizing the growing importance and potential risks of artificial intelligence technologies in various sectors.
