Texas artists like Willie Nelson are seeing their intellectual property infringed by out-of-state AI companies. TRAIGA , the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act, would protect Texans against the harms of AI while establishing a framework that allows local tech companies to thrive.

The big buzz centers on the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA), but significant bills are moving in other states too.

California Assm. Rebecca Bauer-Kahan authored last year’s successful Training Data Transparency Act. Now she’s back with a bill to protect performers, authors, and artists from copyright infringement by AI developers.

New Mexico’s HB 60 improves on the artificial intelligence act adopted by Colorado last year.
