Colorado's SB 24-205 is the first comprehensive US state AI law. It puts a duty of care on developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems that make consequential decisions about people. Before your counsel can assess compliance, someone has to know which of your systems qualify. That's the read we produce.
Signed in 2024, the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act (SB 24-205) was the first comprehensive AI law passed by a US state. Its start date has been the subject of legislative amendment, so we don't anchor anything to a single deadline — confirm the current effective date with counsel.
The law targets high-risk artificial intelligence systems: those that make, or are a substantial factor in making, a consequential decision — decisions affecting access to employment, lending, housing, insurance, healthcare, education, legal services or government benefits.
Every one of these obligations starts in the same place: knowing exactly which AI systems you run and what they touch. That's the read we produce.
Every obligation in SB 205 hinges on a classification question: which of your AI systems are “high-risk,” and which decisions are “consequential”? You cannot write a risk management policy, run an impact assessment, or notify a consumer about a system you haven't identified.
Most companies can't answer that from memory. The model that scores applicants, the AI that ranks leads, the third-party API buried in a dependency — these are exactly the systems the law reaches, and exactly the ones a manual inventory misses.
Every model, API and LLM call in your code — including the shadow AI nobody reported.
Which systems make consequential decisions, and what regulated data flows into each one.
A signed, source-traced map your counsel turns into the notices and assessments Colorado AI Act requires.
SB 24-205, the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, is the first comprehensive US state AI law. It imposes a duty of reasonable care on developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems to protect consumers from algorithmic discrimination, and requires risk management programs, impact assessments and consumer notices for systems that make consequential decisions.
The law was originally slated to take effect in early 2026, but its start date has been amended by the Colorado legislature since passage. Because the timing has moved, confirm the current effective date with your counsel rather than relying on any single published date. What doesn't change is the underlying work: you need to know which of your systems are high-risk before any deadline.
A high-risk system is one that makes, or is a substantial factor in making, a consequential decision — a decision affecting access to things like employment, lending, housing, insurance, healthcare, education or government services. Identifying which of your systems meet that bar is the first step, and it has to come from the code, not from a questionnaire.
We surface every AI and LLM system in your codebase, trace what data each one touches, and flag the ones making consequential decisions about people. That source-traced map is the evidence base your counsel uses to run impact assessments, build the risk management program and draft the required consumer notices.
This page is general information, not legal advice. AI statutes and their effective dates are moving targets; confirm what applies to you with your own counsel. We produce the technical read — the source-traced map of the AI in your code — that your counsel maps to the obligations that actually bind you.
