Texas Trying To Manage The Growing Use Of AI With New Submitted Bill

Technology is continuously growing around us in Texas. Items once believed to be very difficult have now become simpler and easier to handle thanks to its growth. But with growth comes uncertainly also.

All of us have seen how big the usage of AI has gotten. Some of us use it to assist in finding the right word for sentence, to it writing entire paragraphs on one certain subject. It's also been used for nefarious means, and that has concerned some in the state.

Because of this, a new bill has been put forth in the Texas legislature to try and make sure things don't get too out of hand with the new technology.
