Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act

TRAIGA
active

Texas's AI statute sets baseline prohibitions on developing or deploying AI to manipulate people toward self-harm or crime, to unlawfully discriminate, to infringe constitutional rights, or to produce child sexual abuse material. It requires government agencies and health care providers to tell people they are interacting with AI, bars government social scoring and non-consensual biometric identification, and creates an AI regulatory sandbox and the Texas Artificial Intelligence Council. It also amended the biometric law (503.001) and TDPSA processor duties (541.104).
