In this powerful testimony before the Texas Senate Committee on Business & Commerce, litigation attorney and former UT Longhorn football player Dominic Cruciani makes the case for HB 149, a groundbreaking bill that establishes a human-centric approach to AI regulation in Texas. Learn how this legislation aims to balance innovation with accountability, creating a regulatory sandbox for AI companies while ensuring these technologies uphold Texan values of liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise. Cruciani explains why current frameworks are outdated and how HB 149 will protect consumers while allowing developers to innovate responsibly. As he puts it, “AI development in Texas is currently the Wild West, and HB 149 installs a new sheriff in this digital town who is both tough & fair.”
