Colorado AI Act
Colorado SB 24-205, a comprehensive algorithmic-discrimination law that was repealed and replaced by SB 26-189 in 2026.
The Colorado AI Act, originally enacted as Senate Bill 24-205, was a comprehensive law addressing algorithmic discrimination in high-risk decisions, including insurance. It imposed broad risk-management, documentation, and disclosure duties on developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems.
In 2026, Colorado SB 26-189 repealed most of the Colorado AI Act and replaced it with a narrower disclosure-and-recourse framework. The repeal followed federal pressure from Executive Order 14365, which singled out Colorado’s law as an example of excessive state AI regulation.
The Colorado AI Act remains a relevant reference point because it shaped the debate over state AI regulation and influenced other states. It also shows how quickly the regulatory landscape can shift under federal pressure. See our analysis of Colorado SB 26-189, which replaced the Act.
