Why this status

Colorado enacted HB 26-1263 (Conversational Artificial Intelligence Service Operator Requirements), signed by Governor Polis on May 29, 2026. Operators of consumer-facing conversational AI services must disclose that a user is interacting with AI rather than a person and use commercially reasonable methods to estimate a user's age. For accounts held by minors, operators must prohibit engagement-maximizing reward features, block sexually explicit content and outputs that simulate emotional dependence, and stop responding to prompts seeking sexual content involving a minor. All operators must maintain a protocol for prompts indicating suicidal ideation or self-harm and report annually to the Colorado Attorney General. The operator requirements take effect January 1, 2027 and are enforceable under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
