Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser agreed to delay enforcement of the state's groundbreaking 2024 AI law after xAI filed a lawsuit in early April 2025, with xAI, the Department of Justice, and state officials filing a joint motion to pause the case. The law, originally scheduled for February 2025 but delayed until June 30, 2025, was the first state law to broadly regulate high-risk AI systems in hiring, lending, housing, insurance, and government services. Tech companies criticized the law as costly and harmful to innovation, prompting Governor Jared Polis to convene a special session and establish a working group that delivered a revised policy framework in March 2026. Weiser now plans to delay rulemaking until after Colorado's legislative session ends in mid-May 2026, reflecting broader national tensions between state-level AI regulations and federal calls for a unified framework.
