Summary
The bill defines a 'conversational artificial intelligence service' as an artificial intelligence system that is accessible to the general public and that primarily simulates human conversation and interaction through textual, visual, or aural communications.     Effective January 1, 2027, the bill creates requirements for a person that develops and partnership, corporation, or entity that makes available or controls access to a conversational artificial intelligence service (operator).      For a user of a conversational artificial intelligence service who is under 18 years old (minor user), an operator is: For a consumer who is a minor and has or opens an account or profile to use a conversational artificial intelligence service (minor account holder) and for a user of a conversational artificial intelligence service who an operator has reasonable certainty or actual knowledge is a minor (minor user), an operator is:Required to provide certain disclosures;Prohibited from providing the minor account holder or minor user with points or rewards to encourage engagement with the conversational artificial intelligence service;Required to institute reasonable technically feasible measures to prevent the conversational artificial intelligence service from producing sexually explicit content or statements that simulate emotional dependence; andRequired to provide tools for the minor account holder or minor user or a parent or guardian of the minor account holder or minor user to manage the minor account holder's or minor user's privacy and account settings.     The bill also requires an operator to provide consumer disclosures, implement a protocol for user prompts regarding suicidal ideation or self-harm, and annually report to the attorney general's office information regarding the protocol the operator is implementing. The bill prohibits an operator from indicating or implying that any output data provided by a conversational artificial intelligence service is provided by, endorsed by, or equivalent to services provided by certain licensed or certified professionals.      The bill clarifies that nothing in the bill limits an individual's ability to access certain information and resources pursuant to the state constitution, requires an operator to disclose confidential information, or authorizes content moderation practices inconsistent with the United States constitution.      A violation of the bill is a deceptive trade practice, enforceable by the attorney general under the 'Colorado Consumer Protection Act'. A person that violates the bill is subject to a civil penalty of $1,000 $5,000 per violation. Each output of a conversational artificial intelligence service that is a violation constitutes a separate violation.(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
