One suspects that there are those whose favourite sporting indulgence is to launch little social media grenades before standing back to admire their handiwork. A million impressions! 700,000 likes! Once the currency of the geeky in-your-folks’-basement-keyboard-warrior, it has become a more mainstream means of satisfaction to a certain demographic. It would be remiss, though, to suggest the age group appeals to those who are barely of legal age to drink. Last week Roger Mitchell, the former SPL chief – the one who recommended that the league knock back a Sky Sports broadcasting deal in 2002 – detonated one of those social media bombs with a tweet about women’s football that promptly blew up. As England internationalist Lucy Bronze suggested that 99.9% of women’s players will have to work when they finish playing rather than live off their earnings, Mitchell was very keen to offer his thoughts. ‘The entitlement of women’s football is totally off the scale,’ he wrote. ‘They arrived yesterday. They have no real audience. And yet...World class male players of the 80s didn’t get “for life” wages. Stars in the 60s needed a testimonial to maybe buy a pub and work another 35 years.’ The point that Bronze was making, and entirely lost here, was that the position of women’s football is a million miles off of its male equivalent. Her observation was simply this; it is unlikely that any current player in the England team will have any financial worries when the time comes to hang up their boots. Indeed, there will be bang-average Championship and League One players in England who need never dirty their hands when they finish playing. This is not entitlement to discuss this. This is a question and not exclusive to sport, stained deep within the culture of our time, about creating genuine pathways to equality. If no-one talks about it and puzzles over how to offer means of correcting it, how can it ever change? Pointing out the differentials is not entitlement. And the reason why women’s football ‘arrived yesterday?’ Well, that’s an easy one. It was banned. It was not allowed. Growth was prohibited when the game was shut down with no oxygen to move and morph the way the men’s game did. Historically the women’s game attracted significant numbers at times before facilities were removed. It is impossible to know how things would have played out had those decisions by the old gatekeepers not been taken. But these are the new gatekeepers of the women’s game. The ones who have an opinion – and there is nothing quite so entrenched as a middle-aged man with an opinion – who has decided that the world must hear it. As Mitchell’s tweet attracted significant traction – surprise, surprise – the patronising rhetoric which followed offered some wry amusement. “There is a very large portion of the fan base of the male game who has deep resentment for how the female game has been 'forced' upon them. “I’d pay attention to that.” Quite what we are all paying deep attention to is an interesting question. Who is forcing the women’s game on anyone? Watch if you will, turn off if you will. Go to a game or consider it not for you. Both choices are fine. But it is here and it has a right to be here. It also has a right to wish to grow and market itself properly and attract commercial entities which will facilitate that. It has a right for players and chief execs and coaches to ask the questions about how it becomes more professional and how it attracts a bigger audience. AND ANOTHER THING Brian Graham has made it clear that he would be keen to be considered for the Scotland job following the exit of Pedro Martinez Losa. Graham currently juggles the duel demands of Partick Thistle striker for Kris Doolan’s side along with managing the women’s side. Twice he took them into the top six while also taking the to the League Cup final last year. By his own admission, the ceiling has been reached with the women’s team given the current lack of resources available. Erin Cuthbert suggested some months ago that tapping into some traditional Scottish qualities would enhance the national team and it is interesting to see if a homegrown route is pursued for this reason. Leanne Ross should also fancy that she should be in the running for the role. Having assisted Martinez Losa she knows the landscape of the national team while her own body of work would speak for itself. Glasgow City are currently leading the charge for this season’s title having had to regroup and rebuild this summer. Both candidates would offer something to Scotland – although both would also need to get a move on with their pro-license. AND FINALLY The SWPL is on a break for a couple of weeks to allow players to recharge. If the game is to grow and develop then a break makes absolute sense. It doesn’t help to have players who are mentally and physically fatigued – many of whom juggle working commitments with their football – working through a hectic schedule. The men’s game will miss its break this year as it accommodates the growing demands of international and domestic football and there is no question that it has an impact on performance levels. The women’s game will be all the better for a brief break.Dior Conners hits game-winning 3 with a second left as Appalachian State tops William & Mary, 79-76super ace max bet 。

Wayne was born on January 11, 1944 in Rushford, Minnesota to Clifford & Dora (Torgerson) Rustad. He grew up on farms in the Rushford area, and was baptized and confirmed at Highland Prairie Lutheran Church. He graduated from Rushford High School in 1962 and from Winona State College in 1965 with a degree in elementary education. Later he earned a master’s degree. He taught for two years in Preston, Minnesota before moving to Austin where he continued to teach until his retirement in 2000. In 1969 he met a fellow teacher, Geraldine (Gerry) Carlstrom, and they were married in 1970 in Red Wing, Minnesota. Through the years Wayne was active in church activities and with Hot Meals on Wheels where he served as president and driver coordinator in addition to delivering meals. Wayne also worked as a crop hail adjuster for Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance of Iowa for many summers. He especially loved golfing, and enjoyed canoeing in the Boundary Waters, deer hunting, listening to music, and reading books by his favorite authors. He faithfully read the Star Tribune newspaper every day. He took up coin collecting as a hobby after he retired. His lifetime achievement was getting two holes in one playing golf with friends. He loved to tell stories, was proud of his Rushford roots, and loved his family. Once Gerry retired in 2003, they began spending parts of every winter in Apache Junction, Arizona where his favorite activities were golfing, hiking, and playing games and going out to eat with friends. Wayne is survived by his wife of 54 years, Gerry; daughter, Laura (Chad) Sayles; two granddaughters, Natalie (Nick) Baier and Emily (Trent) Brown; two great grandchildren, Bennett and Chloe Baier.

Cole Palmer gave the Blues an early lead in the first half. However, two late goals from Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz in the second half secured victory for Fulham over Maresca’s side. Speaking in his post-match interview, Maresca attributed the loss to his team’s failure to manage transitions effectively in the second half. “I think probably in the first 10-15 minutes of the second half, we conceded too many transitions to them,” Maresca told Prime Video in the UK. “We could have controlled the second half much better, especially in the first 15-20 minutes. Then the game was there.

By Tunde Olusunle Rest assured of convivial reception whenever you stop by his address in Abuja or back home in Umulenso, Umuahia, Abia State. Kolanuts, bitter kola, *añara,* (egg plants), and *ose oji,* (groundnut and pepper paste), receive you as is standard *Igbo* cultural practice. You savour the best of beverages, subject to your choice. The finest of *Cognac XOs and VSOPs* were preferences in years past. Properly *aged whiskeys* have become more fashionable as we all age and manage our wellness parameters. Wine connoisseurs and subscribers to softer liquids will also have their fill. Undoubtedly, he is a man of style. His sitting room typically snowballs into a theatre of vibrant discourse and robust conversations. The subject could be anything: Economy, politics, international affairs, sports and more. Get set to engage this pseudo-encyclopaedia. You will be amazed at the sharpness of his memory, the width of his insights and the depth of his interventions. He makes sure to congratulate me whenever my favourite team in the English Premier League, (EPL), Arsenal, excels. He also sympathises with me when the outcome of a game is dampening and I wear a long face. He is that perspicacious. For his humongous attainments in life and the reverence he commands, Onyema Ugochukwu is a very humble, sober, maybe shy, temperate personality. He bestrode the corridors of the pristine *Daily Times of Nigeria Plc* with his towering frame. But he is a most amiable gentleman, an intuitive economist, a thorough-bred journalist, a painstaking administrator and thrifty personality. He is a diligent and loving husband, a caring and concerned father and a doting and grateful grandfather. He cherishes his quietude and abhors noise making. But he “loses” the battle when his grandchildren, predominantly boys for now, come visiting like they did on his recent 80th birthday. They wholly and effectively took over his house, spontaneously converting into a functional “amusement park!” But you could discern from his face the joy of grandfather-hood as he and his wife of 45 years, Joyce Ugochukwu, a veteran medical practitioner, try to moderate the energetic enthusiasm of the toddlers. Regular callers like us, those we call *ama’la* in Igbo, home boys that is, knew Ugochukwu would commemorate his ascent to the octogenarian hierarchies this year. I have been associated with him for about 35 years now since the charismatic media revolutionary, Yemi Ogunbiyi gave me a job in the Daily Times in 1990. I was adopted by both paragons and I have never been far from them. I have a fair idea of milestones close to their hearts. Ugochukwu’s Abuja home underwent a tangible makeover which he always complained to me upset his equilibrium while the process was on. Just in case he thought the lawn in front of his house where a number of family events took place in the past would suffice for his 80th, however, his children, select kinsmen and friends had other plans. Ugochukwu’s trajectory commands thanksgiving in every way. He was the third of seven children. Except for his immediate younger sister, Chinyere Achinivu, all the others are no longer with us. More touching is the fact that none of his siblings attained the age of 70, nay 80. There was therefore no shying away from celebrating the goodness of God. From New York, New Jersey, Washington DC, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Umuahia, Warri, family members, relatives, in-laws, friends, former colleagues were already streaming into Abuja days before the programme. Boisterousness and festivity enveloped the air, setting the stage for a memorable event. A thanksgiving service was held at the Methodist Church Nigeria, Cathedral of Unity, Wuse Zone 3, Abuja, Saturday November 9, 2024, the very date of Ugochukwu’s milestone and was attended by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Flagbearer of Labour Party, (LP) during the 2023 elections, Peter Obi and former Permanent Secretary and Ambassador at various times, Godknows Igali and his wife, were also present. Obasanjo used the opportunity to pay tribute to Ugochukwu who was his Director of Publicity back in 1998, when he, Obasanjo, first dabbled into partisan politics. He acknowledged the name-calling Ugochukwu endured from his kinsmen at the time. They could not fathom why he chose to work for Obasanjo, when former Vice President Alex Ekwueme also from the Igbo country, was contesting the same election. He celebrated Ugochukwu for his multisectoral contributions to national development. He lauded him in particular for emplacing a sustainable road map for implementation by the Niger Delta Development Commission, (NDDC), as foundation Chairman, over two decades ago. *Rainbow Marquee and Event Centre* in Garki, Abuja was the venue of the reception. Days before, Ugochukwu was apprehensive about the cavernous size of the auditorium, noting it might just be half empty with the kind of restrictions placed on attendance. By the time he and his family joined his guests straight from church, however, Ugochukwu was astounded. He barely could believe what his “eyes were telling him.” The marquee was brimming and bustling. His guests by the way were not from the mass of those admonished by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, to *eat wherever they found food!* Sometimes in life, we never know the depth of veneration we command in people’s hearts, until we are privileged to be honoured at events like Ugochukwu’s. What could have been more gratifying than having former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Ali and his wife Marian and former Governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa, topping your guest list? Senator representing Ugochukwu’s Abia Central Zone, Austin Akobundu, who chaired the programme, and the Member Representing the Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency, Obi Aguocha, were in attendance. Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator for Abia South Zone, was represented by his wife, Florence Nwamaka, while former Deputy Governor of Abia State, Oko Chukwu Ude, also graced the occasion. So did former Health Minister, Professor Alphonsus Nwosu and his wife; former Senators representing Abia Central, Chris Adighije and Nkechi Nwogu, and running mate to Ugochukwu during his gubernatorial quest in 2006/2007, Chinwe Nwanganga and his wife. Other dignitaries at the event included Olusegun Runsewe, former Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture, (NCAC); Nebolisa Emodi, retired Permanent Secretary, State House Administration and Reverend Benson Ezem, Chairman of *Cosmo Base Group* and his wife. Uba Agadaga, former Member of the National Assembly Service Commission, (NASC); Nonso Ogbunamiri, a Lagos-based *multipreneur;* Umeh Kalu, SAN, former Attorney-General, Abia State and Handel Okoli, also a renowned attorney and adviser in the Obasanjo/Atiku government, made it to the event. Segun Ilori, Legal Adviser, Green Energy Ltd, and Tivlumun Nyitse, Professor and former Chief of Staff in Benue State, honoured the programme. Emeritus Librarian, the septuagenarian Tunji Okegbola; adviser to the former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Emeka Nwosu and his wife; long-serving media adviser to Babatunde Fashola, SAN, former Lagos State Governor, who was also Works Minister, Hakeem Bello, topped the *Daily Times alumni* who celebrated their senior colleague. Paul Mumeh, media aide to former President of the Senate, David Mark; Joe Ibekwe, Convener of the FLED International Leadership Institute, and longtime Ugochukwu photographer, Tumo Ojelabi, all of them *Timesmen,* showed up for their former boss. From the NDDC family, “ancient and modern,” came former Managing Director who was also pioneer Special Adviser to the President on the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, Timi Alaibe. There was also the former NDDC Commissioner for Cross River State, Professor Eyong Nyong; the recently retired legal adviser to the Commission, Steve Igbomuaye and former protocol head, now multibillionaire entrepreneur, Julius Rone representing the old era. Incumbent Chairman of the Commission, Chiedu Ebie; Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku; Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Boma Iyaye, topped the present generation of the NDDC leadership. Not forgetting the Corporate Affairs Director of the organisation, Seledi Wakama. The NDDC solidarity was as remarkable in numbers as it was in goodwill. They supported the production of two books to commemorate the event. Obasanjo wrote the Foreword to one of the books, *Galvanising Development in the Niger Delta: Selected Engagements by Onyema Ugochukwu,* jointly edited by this writer and the eminent journalist, John Araka. The second publication, a dedicated anthology of tributes to Ugochukwu, titled *Testaments and Testimonials: Celebrating Onyema Ugochukwu at 80,* was edited by Tunde Olusunle. The work is an anthology of about 90 attestations to Ugochukwu, predominantly by professional colleagues, old and young. Hakeem Bello one of the contributors to the volume, fittingly describes it as a “collector’s item.” What better way to profile an anthology with contributors from the media like: Yemi Ogunbiyi; Dan Agbese; Tola Adeniyi; Felix Adenaike; Lade Bonuola; Olu Obafemi; Chidi Amuta; Godini Gabriel Darah; Ben Obi; Dare Babarinsa and Ayo Akinkuotu? Tributes from Solomon Odemwingie; Emma Agu; Lanre Idowu; Omar Farouk Ibrahim; Lanre Idowu; Ohi Alegbe; Nduka Nwosu; Gbenga Adefaye; Eniola Bello; Idang Alibi; Gboyega Okegbenro; Olusegun Adeniyi; Segun Ayobolu; Segun Ilori; Lizzy Ikem, Angela Agoawike and Martins Oloja also feature. Gbenga Ayeni; Tunde Rahman; Al Bishak; Salisu Na’inna Dambatta; Lawal Ogienagbon and Dan Akpovwa, equally celebrate Ugochukwu in this volume. Ugochukwu’s globality resonates from the pages of this book. You find a man who is Igbo by birth and origin, but pan-Nigerian in thought and outlook. Ugochukwu’s colleagues, friends and associates come from all over. Tunde Ipinmisho, an Emeritus Editor who served under Ugochukwu in *Daily Times* always remarks about Ugochukwu’s politeness and culturedness: “He tells you “thank you” for whatever you do for him, no matter how little,” Ipinmisho says. The *319-page* innovative assemblage of tributes, is indeed a treasure trove. The two books presented at the programme were published by the rising Ibadan-based *Kraft Books Ltd* and reviewed by Gbenga Ibileye, Professor of English at the Federal University Lokoja, (FUL). They were formally presented at the reception and handed over to guests for free, consistent with the desire of the honoree. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar noted at the event, that at the height of his famous acrimony with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Ugochukwu refused to take sides. According to him, Ugochukwu was a conciliator who tried as much as he could, to mediate between both sides. He described Ugochukwu as an “extremely dedicated and passionate Nigerian, a credible and perfect gentleman.” Turning to Mrs Ugochukwu on the table they all sat, Atiku said: “Madam, you are very fortunate to have him.” He prayed for good health and many more years for Ugochukwu. Akobundu expressed utmost delight at the rare honour of chairing Ugochukwu’s landmark, a legend he defers to as *Dee,* (elder in Igbo) and leader.” The revelry flowed over to the home of the Ugochukwus, late into the night, with still a lot to savour. • Olusunle, PhD, Fellow of the Association of Nigerian Authors, (FANA), teaches Creative Writing at the University of Abuja

The U.S. House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence has released its report on artificial intelligence following nearly a year of meetings and discussions with over 100 experts in the field. The task force, which included 12 Democrats and 12 Republicans, was charged with compiling a comprehensive "road map" for Congress to implement safeguards against artificial intelligence misuse and boost the development of artificial intelligence technology in the United States. "Artificial intelligence has the potential to enhance the lives of Americans, but it also poses serious threats – from fraud and identity theft to election integrity and more," said Colorado’s Democratic U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, who sat on the task force. "After months of bipartisan collaboration, I’m proud to help release this report which will serve as a blueprint for Congress to enact policies that help harness the potential of this emerging technology while ensuring strong guardrails and consumer protections,” Pettersen said. “This report is an important step toward ensuring Congress meets the moment and the United States remains a global leader in AI." The 253-page report includes 66 key findings and 85 recommendations but does not propose any specific legislative measures. The task force adopted seven guiding principles when compiling the report that include: The task force investigated the use of AI in 15 areas, including government use, data privacy, national security, and intellectual property. Government Use The report encourages the federal government and Congress to be "wary" of algorithm-informed decision-making in government affairs. In addition, task force members recommended adopting AI standards for federal government use and improving cybersecurity of federal systems to protect against AI's negative impacts. "Irresponsible or improper use [of AI] fosters risks to individual privacy, security, and the fair and equal treatment of all citizens by their government," the report stated. Federal Preemption of State Law Several states, including Colorado, have passed legislation related to AI. According to the task force, the federal government can use these state-level statutes as a tool to "accomplish various objectives." However, "federal preemption presents complex legal and policy issues that should be considered." The report found that federal preemption has both positive and negative aspects and that it can allow states to be subject to certain limits on regulation. The task force recommended the federal government study the laws, rules, and regulations in each state when it comes to AI in different industries. Data Privacy "As AI systems amass and analyze vast amounts of data, there are increasing risks of private information being accessed without authorization," the report stated. "Thoughtful and effective data privacy policies and protections will support consumer confidence in the responsible development and deployment of AI systems." Currently, Americans have very few avenues for recourse if their privacy is negatively impacted by AI, but federal privacy laws have the potential to increase the effectiveness of state laws related to AI and data privacy. The task force recommended exploring ways to promote access to data in "privacy-enhanced" ways while ensuring any privacy laws that come out of Congress are "generally applicable and technology-neutral" to cover all forms of AI, current and future. National Security With many countries, including US adversaries, incorporating AI technology into their military programs, it's crucial for the American military to have a thorough understanding of different AI systems and implement them in its defense strategy, the report stated. The report called for expanded AI training within the Department of Defense continued oversight of autonomous weapons policies, and international collaboration with American allies on developing AI for military use. Research, Development, and Standards The task force recommends that Congress implement an open research environment in which research processes and data are accessible to all entities to maintain the U.S.'s status as a leader in AI research and development. The report found that further investments in AI research and development will increase competitiveness with American adversaries such as China and expand access to and adoption of AI technology among Americans. The report also called for promoting public-private partnerships for AI research and development and implementing standards for the evaluation and testing of AI technology. Civil Rights & Civil Liberties "AI models, and software systems more generally, can produce misleading or inaccurate outputs" that can deprive Americans of their basic rights, the report stated. The task force found that the federal government must understand the potential harm misleading or inaccurate AI systems can pose to mitigate potential rights violations. The report recommended always having a human available to identify and remedy potential flaws when AI is being used in "highly consequential" decisions and informing users when AI is being used in situations where decisions are being made to protect against discrimination. Education and Workforce According to the report, the U.S. has a "significant gap" in its workforce of AI-literate professionals, which is only growing. "Educating and training American learners in AI topics will be critical to continued U.S. leadership in AI technology and for America’s economic and national security," the report stated. As AI becomes increasingly common in the workplace, the task force recommended that the government invest in K-12 STEM and AI education to promote AI literacy and broaden pathways to the AI workforce. At the same time, the government should monitor labor laws and worker protections to ensure workers are not being taken advantage of when it comes to AI adoption in the workplace. Intellectual Property Generative AI has sparked widespread debates about intellectual property rights for creatives such as artists, musicians, and designers. "Generative AI poses a unique challenge to the creative community," the report stated, adding that creators are often unaware AI developers are using their work. The report recommends clarifying IP laws, regulations, and agency activity to better inform the legal community about what is and isn't legal and counter the increasing use of deepfakes to harm others. Content Authenticity When tackling inauthentic content such as deepfakes, the task force recommended a "risk-based, multipronged approach" in which the responsibilities of AI developers, content producers, and content distributors are clearly outlined. While the report found that synthetic content "has many beneficial uses," it can also harm individuals and create a sense of distrust among users. The report recommended ensuring victims of harmful synthetic content have access to tools and resources they may need for support. Open & Closed Systems The report also discussed open and closed AI systems. In an open system, an AI model's underlying code and data are publicly accessible. They can be built upon, while a closed system is only available to the developers. The report found that open models encourage innovation and competition among AI developers and that "limited evidence" exists that open models should be restricted. Despite this, the task force recommended the federal government continue monitoring open-source models for potential risks. Energy Usage & Data Centers The electrical grid has been significantly impacted by the advancement of AI technology, particularly due to large data centers with high energy demands. While the report found AI to be "critical" to U.S. economic interests and national security, it poses a multitude of challenges to the country's energy sector. "Planning properly now for new power generation and transmission is critical for AI innovation and adoption," the report stated, adding that AI itself can play a role in modernizing America's energy sector. Small Business Many small businesses lack the understanding and financial resources to implement AI, the report found. Providing them with education and resources to improve AI literacy is essential in order to help small businesses thrive, the task force stated, advocating for the federal government to reduce "compliance burdens" for small businesses that operate with the assistance of AI. Agriculture According to the report, AI technology has the potential to change the agriculture industry, increasing food availability, lowering food prices, and encouraging economic growth. Because many agricultural communities lack reliable internet connection, AI adoption in the agriculture industry has been slow, the report stated. However, increased AI use by the USDA could help provide more agriculture programs to American communities and reduce costs for farmers and ranchers. The report recommended the federal government direct the USDA to "better utilize" AI in program delivery and continue to explore how AI technology could help land managers improve forest health. Health Care AI has the potential to make significant improvements to the American healthcare system by improving diagnostic accuracy, streamlining operations. speeding up drug development and automating routine tasks, the report found. However, there currently aren't any uniform standards for medical data when it comes to AI, which makes it difficult for advancements to be made. The task force recommended the government "maintain robust support" for medical research related to AI and create incentives and guidance to encourage risk management of AI technologies in the healthcare sector, as well as developing uniform standards for liability related to AI issues. Financial Services According to the report, the financial services industry has been using AI technology for decades. "The ideal environment for continued growth would allow AI innovation to thrive while protecting consumers and maintaining market integrity," the task force wrote. "By focusing on fostering innovation, enhancing customer experiences, and ensuring financial inclusion, AI can significantly improve the financial sector's efficiency and accessibility." While AI has the potential to expand access to financial products and services, smaller firms may be at a disadvantage due to financial barriers to adopting AI. The report recommends fostering an environment where financial services firms can "responsibly" adopt AI technology and encourage industry regulators to gain a better understanding of AI while suggesting a "principles-based" regulatory approach. 'I don't want a future where China's leading on AI': Pettersen on the role AI plays in US government In an interview with Colorado Politics , Pettersen said the United States is in a race against China when it comes to crafting AI policy, and she's afraid China could win. "I really worry about areas like this where we need to be leading the way globally and making sure that China is not the one doing that,” Pettersen said. “I don’t want a future where China’s leading on AI. It needs to be the United States, and we have to come together in Congress to bring comprehensive, pragmatic, bipartisan solutions. It cannot matter (which party) has the majority. This needs to continue to be a bipartisan effort." Pettersen said she is confident artificial intelligence will remain a priority in the Trump administration but admitted that the Task Force on Artificial Intelligence faced some obstacles due to a "dysfunctional congress" and election season. However, she and other Colorado members of Congress agree that federal legislation on artificial intelligence is far more effective than "patchwork" measures passed at the state level. AI legislation in Colorado During the 2024 legislative session, Colorado passed a first-of-its-kind law that aims to address "algorithmic discrimination", defined in statute as any condition in which AI increases the risk of "unlawful differential treatment" that then "disfavors" an individual or group of people on the basis of age, color, disability, ethnicity, genetic information, race, religion, veteran status, English proficiency and other classes protected by state laws. Gov. Jared Polis has tasked Attorney General Phil Weiser with creating audit policies and identifying high-risk artificial intelligence practices to ensure the law is effectively implemented. The measure's prime sponsor, Sen. Robert Rodriguez, D-Denver, has promised to amend it during the 2025 legislative session to minimize any unintended consequences.
