Govern with AI

The opportunity

$1B+

in operational cost savings Colorado can capture by 2030, a state goal.

The chance is to make government work the way people deserve. Colorado can stop waste and fraud, process routine licenses and permits in a day instead of weeks, and use AI to clear outdated rules. Other states have proven the pieces. Colorado can be the first to do all three.

Colorado stops fraud before the money goes out

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.

in fraud and improper payments Colorado can stop by 2030, a state goal

Colorado processes routine licenses and permits 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 cuts what no longer serves Coloradans

AI can read all of Colorado statute and regulation in days, flagging conflicts, redundancies, and outdated rules for repeal.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.

What this creates

950,000+

Coloradans and businesses who get faster state service, through DORA alone.

Put AI to work across Colorado government

With the state budget under strain, governing with AI is how Colorado does more without spending more.

The ask

We ask Colorado's next leaders to endorse the movement and deliver these on a public timeline.

Deploy AI across state agencies to catch fraud and improper payments and cut the cost of routine work.
Process routine state licenses and permits in a single day by 2030, using AI document review and intake.
Use AI to flag every outdated rule in Colorado statute and regulation for repeal.

When Colorado governs with AI, the result is faster service, lower cost, and time given back to the people who serve Coloradans.
