Colorado has introduced detailed interim rules under the Automated Decision-Making Technology Act, establishing accountability obligations for AI agent developers and deployers that will take effect January 1, 2027. These state-level rules fill a federal regulatory gap by requiring transparency, meaningful human review, and setting strong enforcement measures by the Colorado Attorney General.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must start documenting and disclosing how your AI agents make consequential decisions for Colorado users now. Ignoring this opens you to enforcement risks and lost market access starting January 1, 2027.
