Texas Responsible AI Governance Act

Statute United States (Texas) · 2025

TRAIGA took effect 1 January 2026 as an intent-based AI statute: rather than imposing risk-management duties on classes of system, it prohibits developing or deploying AI with the intent to manipulate behaviour, conduct social scoring, unlawfully discriminate, or uniquely identify people without consent. Its most consequential design choice is a safe harbour for substantial compliance with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — the first US law to give a voluntary standard legal effect.

Implemented by these standards

A regulation is the law; a standard is the machine-readable contract that satisfies it. Almost every regime in this catalog restricts an interface rather than requiring one — where a standard exists, it is the part a provider can actually publish.
