The Colorado AI Act is the first comprehensive, risk-based AI regulation in the United States. If you use AI to make or substantially influence decisions about hiring, lending, housing, insurance, education, legal services, government services or or healthcare and those decisions affect Colorado residents, you're a "deployer" under the law. And you're directly liable for compliance.
Enforcement date: June 30, 2026 (delayed from Feb. 01, 2026 via SB 25B-004).
Law: Colorado Consumer Protections for Artificial Intelligence (SB24-205)
Enforced by: Colorado Attorney General
Penalty framework: Up to $20,000 per violation under Colorado Consumer Protection Act
If your organization uses AI and deals with Colorado residents, this law likely applies to you, even if you're headquartered elsewhere. The Act creates legal obligations for how high-risk AI systems are governed, documented, monitored, and disclosed to consumers. It focuses specifically on AI that makes or substantially influences "consequential decisions"; those with material legal or significant effects on people's access to employment, education, housing, healthcare, insurance, lending, legal services, or government services.
The law also provides safe harbors: organizations that follow recognized risk management frameworks (like NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001) and proactively discover and cure violations can assert an affirmative defense against enforcement actions.

Penalty per violation | Up to $20,000 per consumer, per transaction.
100 affected consumers | Up to $2,000,000 in potential exposure.
1,000 affected consumers | Up to $20,000,000 in potential exposure.
That's before reputation damage, legal fees, and the cost of emergency remediation.
Mitigating factors: Organizations that comply with NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, or an AG-designated framework and proactively discover and cure violations can assert an affirmative defense.

Deployers: Any person or entity doing business in Colorado that uses a high-risk AI system to make or substantially influence consequential decisions about consumers. This includes private businesses, state and local governments, vendors, nonprofits, and institutions.
You don't need to build AI to be regulated. Using it is enough.

Under the Colorado AI Act, consumers have the right to:
The law is your opportunity to get ahead of the curve with governance. The compliance framework is legal protection.

Compliance is about building defensible AI governance.
We help organizations build defensible AI governance programs aligned with NIST AI RMF and Colorado AI Act requirements so you can assert the affirmative defense and rebuttable presumption protections the law provides.

Walk away knowing exactly which systems put you at risk and what the AG would find if they came looking.

Walk away with the documented policies, risk protocols, and training infrastructure that transform 'we didn't know' into 'we followed the framework'.

Walk away with the complete evidentiary package that lets your legal team assert the affirmative defense if the Attorney General comes calling.
