Consequential AI Trigger Check

Regulatory status reviewed 10 September 2026: Colorado SB26-189 was signed on 14 May 2026. It repeals and reenacts the prior SB24-205 framework with revised automated decision-making technology (ADMT) requirements, which begin on 1 January 2027. The Colorado branch is a prompt for qualified review, not a statutory applicability calculation. Enacted bill.

A short triage tool for teams that need to know whether an AI use case has crossed the line from ordinary automation into consequential-decision risk.

3-4 minute run 10-question assessment Browser calculation
  • Checks whether your AI use case now needs stronger human review, documentation, and impact discipline.
  • Flags material risk factors around rights, outcomes, appeal, disclosure, and sensitive data.
  • Includes a Colorado-specific routing module without turning the tool into a pseudo-legal calculator.

Result state A

Low trigger likelihood

The current use case does not look structurally consequential based on the answers given, but this is still a governance assessment rather than a legal conclusion.

    Colorado mode

    Your answers suggest a Colorado-specific legal review may be useful. SB26-189 concerns covered ADMT and begins applying on 1 January 2027. This routing note does not determine coverage or statutory protection.

    Documented governance, meaningful human review, consumer-rights process, and alignment with recognized AI governance frameworks matter more than generic policy statements.

    Legal disclaimer: This tool is informational only and does not provide legal advice or a legal conclusion on Colorado AI Act applicability, compliance, or affirmative defense availability.

    Consequential AI needs documentation, not just confidence.

    AI Controls Toolkit (ACT) Tier 2 Professional gives you the implementation documents, impact-assessment path, agentic governance materials, and operating controls this quick triage deliberately does not create. AI Controls Starter remains the right next step when the use case looks lower-risk but the governance baseline is still immature.

    What a higher result usually means

    A higher result does not automatically mean the project should die. It usually means leadership is treating a consequential AI use case like ordinary automation when it now needs documented review, stronger human intervention points, clearer disclosure, and a rights-aware operating model.

    Where the real exposure sits

    The structural risk is rarely the model alone. It is the combination of consequential domain, material effect on people, weak override rights, limited appeal, no disclosure, and absent review. That is why this assessment weights human review and contestability heavily.

    From diagnostic to implementation

    This free tool does not generate a FRIA, impact assessment, rights workflow, notice template, or evidence pack. That is deliberate. Those artifacts sit inside AI Controls Professional because implementation artifacts require structured project context that a browser-based tool cannot provide.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    What does this tool assess?

    This assessment screens whether an AI use case is moving into consequential territory by checking domain sensitivity, material effect on people, human review, appeal rights, disclosure, prior review, data sensitivity, third-party opacity, and likely Colorado exposure.

    Does this tool provide legal advice?

    No. It is a directional governance triage layer, not legal advice and not a legal determination on any law, regulation, safe harbor, or affirmative defense.

    Why is human review weighted so heavily?

    Because meaningful human review is one of the main structural controls that separates ordinary automation from consequential AI use. If humans cannot really review and override the outcome, governance risk rises quickly.

    Why does Colorado mode exist inside this tool?

    Because Colorado-specific consumer-rights and documented-governance questions matter for some U.S. deployments, but Move78 keeps that logic as a results branch instead of a separate free calculator to avoid tool sprawl and pseudo-legal outputs.

    Will this tool store my answers?

    No. The scoring runs entirely in the browser. Answers are not transmitted, synchronized, or stored by Move78.
