Summary

The law adds new definitions for conversational AI and sets duties for any person or entity that offers such services to the public. Starting Jan. 1, 2027, operators must clearly tell users, especially minors, that they are interacting with AI, block explicit sexual and emotionally manipulative content, and provide crisis‑intervention referrals. Operators must also file annual, anonymized reports on these safeguards with the Colorado Attorney General.
