With the end of the legislative session looming closer, members of Colorado’s state House worked on Sunday to debate bills, hold a committee hearing and advanced several measures.
With a vote of 37-24, the House passed House Bill 1468, which aims to broaden the scope of the state’s facial recognition software task force to include the study of additional facets of artificial intelligence and biometric technology.
Lawmakers also adopted an amendment to allow the task force to study the effects of artificial intelligence and biometric technology on “vulnerable communities,” addressing points raised by parties and Judiciary Committee members regarding what they described as potential biases against people of color in facial recognition software and artificial intelligence.
