DOE Explains...Artificial Intelligence

May 18,26 | 01:35 EST

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to intelligence demonstrated by machines, a concept that became a formal field of research in 1956. While early progress faced challenges, recent advancements in computing power and the availability of vast datasets have significantly propelled AI forward. This includes major strides in machine learning, where systems learn automatically from data to improve future performance (e.g., navigation apps analyzing traffic), and deep learning, which tackles complex tasks using neural networks modeled after the human brain (e.g., digital assistants like Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri). The Department of Energy has a long history of contributing to AI, from foundational computing technologies to powering future generations of AI through high-performance and exascale computing, and applying AI in critical scientific endeavors like fusion energy research.

Colorado’s New AI Law Shifts Employer Accountability from System to Individual Decision Level

May 18,26 | 01:34 EST

Colorado has introduced a new AI law, SB26-189, which significantly alters employer accountability regarding automated decision-making technology. This law, signed on May 14, 2026, replaces the state's 2024 AI statute and shifts the focus from system-level compliance to individual decision-by-decision accountability. Key requirements for employers include providing post-decision transparency, which encompasses notice to individuals, access to the data used in decisions, and an opportunity for correction and human review. This change moves the legal risk downstream, compelling employers to thoroughly explain and defend each AI-assisted decision, rather than relying solely on upfront system compliance. Employers are strongly advised to evaluate their existing AI tools within this new framework, potentially conducting privileged reviews like bias audits or validation studies to ensure compliance and defensibility.
