Summary
"Colorado SB 26-189 (2026) replaced the original AI Act before it took effect, dropping the duty of reasonable care and impact-assessment regime and retaining a narrower transparency-plus-rights core enforced solely by the Attorney General through Colorado's deceptive-trade-practices statute."
