How Colorado is making its own rules for AI – Axios, 7‑Nov‑2025.

In an interview, Colorado chief information officer David Edinger described the state’s approach to artificial intelligence as “bullish with guardrails,” stressing the need to embrace AI while evaluating each step to avoid missteps . The state uses the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and has backed out of agreements that required sharing personally identifiable information .

So far, Colorado has approved 50 AI use cases from more than 200 requests; a 150‑person pilot of Google’s Gemini generated around 2,000 ideas, helping disabled employees become more productive and speeding up tasks like analytics and creating slides . Officials emphasise that AI will never make “consequential decisions” about benefits or services—Senate Bill 205, taking effect in June 2026, requires developers of high‑risk systems to exercise “reasonable care” to protect consumers .

The story paints a vivid picture of a state trying to harness the promise of generative tools for public good while ensuring that human dignity and control remain at the center .
