Laws for AI that makes decisions about people are starting to land

The fight is American — Colorado's AI Act takes effect on 30 June, with a federal effort trying to freeze it — but the direction of travel is the same everywhere, here included: if your AI helps decide who gets hired, lent to, or treated, you'll soon need to explain how and why. The practitioner move isn't to wait for the lawyers; it's to build the explainability in now — log what the model saw, what it decided, and the human check on it. That isn't compliance overhead, it's how you'd want to run an AI you trust anyway. The deadline just makes it urgent.
