Colorado Revises AI Law to Regulate Automated Decision-Making Technology
Colorado has enacted a revised version of its artificial intelligence governance law, now referred to as the Revised CO AI Act. This new legislation, signed by the Governor on May 14, 2026, and set to take effect on January 1, 2027, replaces the previous AI Act. The revised law shifts focus from 'high-risk artificial intelligence systems' to 'automated decision-making technology' (ADMT), which processes personal data to influence consequential decisions. These decisions can affect access to education, employment, housing, and other critical services. The Revised CO AI Act introduces new obligations for developers and deployers of ADMTs, including providing consumers with the right to request a meaningful human review of adverse decisions influenced by such technologies.
