Justice Department joins Elon Musk’s xAI in effort to block Colorado AI antidiscrimination law
The Department of Justice joined a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's xAI to block Colorado's artificial intelligence antidiscrimination law from taking effect. The law, signed in 2024, aims to regulate 'high-risk' AI systems and protect consumers from algorithmic discrimination.
The Department of Justice joined a lawsuit seeking to block Colorado's artificial intelligence antidiscrimination law. The law, Senate Bill 205, was signed in 2024 and regulates 'high-risk' AI systems to protect consumers from biased results. Attorneys for the federal government and Elon Musk's xAI argue that the law jeopardizes the US position as a global AI leader. They claim it requires AI systems to incorporate 'discriminatory ideology' and burdens small businesses and start-ups. The law is set to be challenged in federal court in Denver. The complaint alleges that the law fosters further discrimination and violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
