In force since 1 Jan 2026
AI may not be developed or deployed with intent to discriminate unlawfully, manipulate behaviour to circumvent informed decision-making, or produce CSAM/unlawful sexual deepfakes.
Government agencies must disclose AI interactions to consumers; social scoring and certain biometric identification uses by government are restricted.
Substantial compliance with a recognised risk framework (e.g. NIST AI RMF) is a defence — operating a documented AI risk management program materially reduces exposure.
Bans intentionally harmful AI uses and adds duties for consequential decisions and government deployments.
Action: Review consequential-decision use cases for Texas exposure.
