EPIC, CFA, Fairplay Submit Recommendations Ahead of Potential Rulemaking for Colorado Automated Decision-Making and Chatbot Laws
EPIC, the Consumer Federation of America, and Fairplay submitted formal comments to the Colorado Department of Law in response to its request for stakeholder input ahead of potential rulemaking under Colorado's new laws governing chatbot safety and automated decision-making in consequential decisions.
Why this matters: Colorado is deciding how to turn two new laws into actual rules, and this is the moment that matters most. Broad statutes mean little until regulators spell out what companies must do and what people can expect. Automated decision-making touches hiring, housing, credit, and healthcare — areas where a bad algorithmic call can derail someone's life with no human ever noticing. Advocacy groups submitting early recommendations can shape those rules before industry does. What gets written here could become a model other states copy.
