As the first state law to regulate the results of Artificial Intelligence System (AI System) use, Colorado’s SB24-205, “Concerning Consumer Protections in Interactions with Artificial Intelligence Systems” (the Act), has generated plenty of cross-industry interest, for good reason. In some ways similar to the risk-based approach taken by the European Union (EU) in the EU AI Act, the Act aims to regulate developers and deployers of AI Systems, which are defined by the Act as “any machine-based system that, for any explicit or implicit objective, infers from the inputs the system receives how to generate outputs, including content, decisions, predictions, or recommendations, that can influence physical or virtual environments.”

The two letters “AI” seem to be everywhere today. But what do people actually mean when they use them, particularly in the compliance context? More importantly, aside from adding the letters “AI” into marketing decks, how do current AI-powered technologies differ from similar technologies just a few years ago, how easy is it to implement AI, and what are the real-world benefits, and risks, of using AI tech?

Preventing discrimination and bias in connection with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care is among the principal current focuses of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and was among the health care directives in the recent Biden Administration Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (Executive Order).
