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.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)

MODERATE
The bill was amended to shift the implementation deadline from January 1, 2027 to October 1, 2026, and to add new requirements for developers of high-risk AI systems, including documentation obligations, public statements, and risk disclosure to the attorney general. These changes accelerate compliance timelines and expand developer responsibilities beyond simple consumer disclosure.
Scope change
The bill now applies to high-risk artificial intelligence systems with specific developer duties, and the effective date for most requirements was moved up by approximately 14 months.
TIMELINE

The effective date for AI disclosure and compliance requirements was changed from January 1, 2027 to October 1, 2026, accelerating the implementation timeline by nearly a year.

REQUIREMENT

New requirements were added for developers of high-risk AI systems to provide documentation, make public statements about their systems, and disclose algorithmic discrimination risks to the attorney general.

Developers must now make available documentation and information (like model cards or impact assessments) to deployers and third parties to help complete impact assessments.

ENFORCEMENT

A rebuttable presumption was added that developers used reasonable care if they complied with the new documentation and disclosure requirements in enforcement actions.

SCOPE

The bill now specifically targets high-risk artificial intelligence systems rather than all AI systems, focusing regulatory requirements on systems with greater potential for harm.
