AI transparency Colorado AI law AI chatbot regulations HB 26-1263 artificial intelligence legislation

The Colorado House of Representatives has passed House Bill 26-1263, a landmark bill introducing new regulations for AI chatbots operating within the state. The legislation aims to enhance transparency and user safety by requiring chatbots to clearly disclose that users are interacting with artificial intelligence—not a human.

The bill also imposes critical safety measures, including mandatory protocols for handling discussions related to suicide or self-harm. Additionally, it explicitly bans chatbots from providing mental or physical health advice, addressing growing concerns about the reliability and accountability of AI-driven health recommendations.

Rep. Sean Camacho (D–Denver), the bill’s sponsor, emphasized its necessity, stating:

"The bill fills a gap in state law because AI systems do not have the same legal duty to protect users that people do."

This legislation reflects Colorado’s proactive approach to regulating emerging AI technologies, ensuring greater accountability and user awareness in digital interactions.
