Colorado and Connecticut are pioneering efforts to regulate artificial intelligence, introducing groundbreaking bills to prevent AI-driven discrimination in crucial services like healthcare, employment, and housing. These bills come as over 40 states consider more than 400 AI-related bills, highlighting the challenges of governing this powerful technology. While Connecticut's effort stalled due to the governor's concerns about stifling innovation, Colorado's bill faces criticism from both consumer advocates and tech groups. As states navigate AI regulation, the need for safeguards against biased decision tools becomes increasingly clear.
