Texas Tackles AI with TRAIGA

In a bold move, Texas has introduced House Bill 1709, the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA), spearheaded by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione. Aiming to balance innovation and ethics, TRAIGA targets high-risk AI systems while giving small businesses a break. Key highlights include an AI Regulatory Sandbox for safe experimentation, hefty fines up to $100K, and strict bans on pesky deepfakes and data misuse. With transparency and workforce training at its core, Texas is set to lead the AI governance frontier—no robo-revolt in sight!
