Advisory: The Colorado AI Sunshine Act and People Power in the Age of Big Tech

DENVER — In advance of the introduction of the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Sunshine Act, lawmakers and advocates will preview the provisions of the bill and explain the importance of ensuring consumer protections and creating thoughtful guardrails on Big Tech in Colorado.

It would also counteract efforts to pass the Big Tech Immunity Act, which would leave Coloradans open to abuse by algorithmic systems.
