Colorado’s AI compromise would focus regulations on informing consumers when the technology is used
Colorado lawmakers have introduced a bill, Senate Bill 189, that would require companies using AI to notify consumers and provide an opportunity to appeal decisions made by AI. The bill aims to strike a balance between allowing the AI industry to flourish and protecting the public.
Colorado lawmakers have introduced Senate Bill 189, a measure that would require companies using artificial intelligence to notify consumers when AI is used to make consequential decisions. The bill would also give consumers an opportunity to appeal such decisions. The measure is Colorado's third attempt to rewrite its 2024 law regulating AI. The original law was set to take effect in February but was delayed to June and now January 2027. Senate Bill 189 is based on recommendations made by a working group convened by Gov. Jared Polis. The bill would require tech companies to provide information on how AI is intended to be used and on harmful or inappropriate uses. Businesses, schools, and governments using AI would have to provide ways for consumers to appeal decisions and request human review. The measure aims to balance the AI industry's needs with public protection.
