Texas has enacted the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA), becoming one of the first states to implement comprehensive AI regulation. The law, effective January 1, 2026, establishes a Texas AI Council and introduces a regulatory sandbox to oversee AI development and deployment within the state. TRAIGA includes provisions for consumer protections, enforcement powers, and sector-specific regulations, notably in healthcare. The legislation mandates disclosure, consent, and compliance requirements for AI systems, focusing on prohibited practices to ensure responsible AI governance. Texas' approach is regarded as a pioneering model for state-level AI regulation, aligning with broader national discussions on AI oversight and innovation. The act reflects Texas' commitment to balancing AI innovation with regulatory safeguards and contributes to the emerging patchwork of AI laws across the United States.
