Policy Roundup - January 2026 (Excerpt) ====================================== 1. Colorado AI Act enforcement memo: vendors must furnish bias testing results and written assurances before June 30, 2026. Libraries should log requests + responses for public records. 2. Vendor bundling watch: Two major e-content vendors tying AI copilots to base contracts. Decline the bundle unless indemnity + opt-out language is in writing. 3. Staffing reality: Expect 20 staff hours/quarter to maintain the AI inventory, run basic audits, and update the board packet. Talking point: "We are not asking for new tech, we're asking for documentation so we don't inherit a vendor's liability."
