Dive Brief:
Colorado employers using artificial intelligence and similar automated technologies for certain “consequential” employment decisions — such as hiring and compensation determinations — must provide notices that they are using those tools under a revised version of the state’s AI law signed by Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday.
Senate Bill 26-189 repeals the state’s previous law, which was set to take effect in June. Its protections apply to Colorado residents, those who have access to or eligibility for an opportunity in Colorado, or who are evaluated in a consequential decision by someone doing business in Colorado.
Employers using covered tools that “materially influence” decisions which lead to an adverse outcome for individuals must provide a description of the tool’s role in the decision, alongside other required disclosures, within 30 days of the decision. The law is effective Jan. 1, 2027 and applies to all decisions made on or after that date.
