AI Governance Briefing — October 23, 2025
Zeph Tech is finalising Colorado AI Act consumer notice and appeals workflows so deployers can comply with Section 6-1-1706 transparency and correction duties.
Executive briefing: Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act obliges deployers of high-risk AI to give consumers meaningful notice, allow data corrections, and offer human review when consequential decisions rely on automated systems. Zeph Tech is building turnkey notice and appeals kits—covering disclosure language, decision explanations, and correction channels—so Colorado customers satisfy Section 6-1-1706 when the law takes effect on February 1, 2026.
Statutory checkpoints
- Consumer notice. Deployers must inform individuals when high-risk AI meaningfully contributes to consequential decisions and describe the purpose of the system.
- Appeal rights. Section 6-1-1706(3) requires deployers to provide instructions for seeking human review and correcting inaccurate data.
- Recordkeeping. Deployers must log notices, appeals, and outcomes for at least three years to demonstrate compliance to the Attorney General.
Control alignment
- Customer experience design. Collaborate with UX and product teams to embed disclosures into onboarding flows, decision emails, and support portals.
- Trust & safety integration. Connect notice and appeal records to incident response tooling so potential algorithmic discrimination is escalated rapidly.
Detection and response priorities
- Run red-team exercises where testers submit correction requests or appeal automated decisions to ensure SLAs and escalation paths function.
- Monitor call-centre and ticket data for spikes in Colorado AI-related complaints and feed trends back into mitigation plans.
- Validate that data subject rights tooling can segment Colorado residents and retain correspondence for statutory audits.
Enablement moves
- Deploy training for customer support agents explaining Colorado notice language, escalation triggers, and documentation needs.
- Publish consumer-facing FAQs that explain Zeph Tech’s AI decision support and how to request human review.
- Coordinate with legal and compliance teams to rehearse Attorney General interactions using mocked notice and appeal logs.
