Summary

On May 17, 2024, Colorado's Governor Jared Polis signed into law The Colorado AI Act (SB205). SB205 will take effect on February 1, 2026, and regulates the use of certain high-risk artificial intelligence (AI) systems. While the 2026 effective date could lull companies into thinking that preparing for the law can wait, its complex requirements will demand timing and planning to address. Additionally, Colorado is not the only US state to step into the ring of AI regulation and enforcement, and many of the steps needed to prepare for the SB205 will help build a compliance foundation for meeting other emerging laws.

To help companies begin this process, we have prepared an overview of the law and identified essential compliance steps businesses should take now.
