Govern with AI

The opportunity

$1B+

a year in operational cost savings Colorado can capture by the end of 2030, a state goal.

The chance is to give Coloradans their time and money back. Colorado can stop fraud, clear outdated rules, and issue permits in a day, and be the first state to do all three.

Colorado finds millions in fraud today, and can stop $100M+ before it leaves

AI fraud detection catches improper payments before they leave the treasury. The US Treasury stopped over $4 billion this way in a single year, and Colorado's own audits keep finding tens of millions in improper Medicaid payments.

Colorado takes weeks to issue permits today, and can do it in a day

Pennsylvania cut LLC license processing from 8 weeks to 2 days with AI document review. AI handles the intake, humans approve, and Coloradans get their routine licenses and permits in a day.

Colorado carries 154,964 rules today, and can clear what no longer serves

AI can read all of Colorado statute and regulation in days, flagging conflicts, redundancies, and outdated rules for repeal. The next administration can finally keep the rulebook current.
