A proposed Texas bill, the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA), aims to impose stringent regulations on artificial intelligence, potentially hindering innovation and economic growth. Introduced by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, TRAIGA adopts a risk-based regulatory framework similar to the EU's AI Act, but critics argue it is overly broad and ambiguous, leading to high compliance costs and potentially stifling beneficial AI developments. The bill could set a precedent for similar regulations nationwide.
