Scrivner Policy Roundtable: Navigating Colorado’s AI Regulation Landscape

Join the next Scrivner Policy Roundtable, an event series designed to build a collaborative research and learning network among local policy actors and the campus community. This roundtable is co-sponsored by the DU Center for Ethical Artificial Intelligence and coordinated in partnership with the Program on Law and Emerging Technologies. It will explore Colorado’s evolving approach to AI regulation, with a focus on the tensions shaping these policy efforts.

Topics will include balancing ethical AI guidelines and consumer protection priorities with industry competitiveness and innovation, questions of regulatory capacity and political feasibility, sweeping versus incremental policy approaches, legal tensions among various stakeholders, and the complex dynamic between state interventions and federal pushback.
