On this episode of the Priorities podcast, Colorado Representative Brianna Titone reflects on the state legislature\u2019s decision to delay implementing the Colorado AI Act, the state\u2019s high-risk artificial intelligence legislation, until the end of June 2026. She expresses disappointment with the watered-down bill and the pressure from big tech companies, like Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce, to oppose it. Titone encouraged lawmakers to take a proactive approach to AI regulation and aim for uniform policy across states due to federal inaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
