Major Developments Put Colorado's AI Law on Ice Ahead of Implementation

My take: To me this sounds like the recipe you worked so hard to write and then toss in the trash before you even turn the oven on. Colorado had the first comprehensive state AI law in all of the United States, and they replaced it entirely before it ever took effect. Governor Polis signed a much shorter version in May: it focuses on automated decision-making technology affecting important decisions, requires consumer notices and real human review, and eliminates complex risk-management programs. It kicks in January 2027. The lesson, to me, is an honest one: the first laws were "overloaded" and the industry pushed back hard. But now I worry about the other extreme, a regulation so skinny it protects no one. That is my opinion, of course.
