US EditionCalifornia v Colorado: How two states leading AI legislation are approaching it differently
- Colorado's legislature adjourned last week after debating issues related to the state's AI law SB 205, passed in 2024 and signed by Governor Polis.
- The legislature ended without amendments after Chamber of Progress and a coalition opposed SB 205’s implementation due to concerns about unclear mandates.
- The coalition warned that SB 205’s broad scope and regulatory burdens could disrupt innovation and recommended a special session to address these problems.
- Kouri Marshall, Director of the Chamber of Progress, warned that enforcing SB 205 starting in February would pose serious challenges due to unclear and risky conditions.
- As a result, Governor Polis called to delay SB 205’s effect beyond February 1, 2026, indicating ongoing uncertainty about the law’s impact on Colorado’s AI sector.
