Colorado Guide to Artificial Intelligence
This Guide to Artificial Intelligence provides a strategic framework for the ethical and responsible implementation of GenA technologies in state operations.

The guide outlines Colorado’s commitment to leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) to enhance public services while emphasizing data protection, privacy, and public trust.
It introduces a strategic approach anchored in three pillars: Governance, Innovation, and Education. The Governance pillar focuses on enhancing policies and processes to support GenAI initiatives; Innovation provides a framework for ideation and guidance for early use cases; and Education prepares state employees with resources for GenAI usage and implementation. Additionally, the guide details a Statewide GenAI Policy requiring all GenAI efforts, including those by third-party vendors, to undergo OIT-led risk assessments to ensure security and compliance.
