The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) has released a detailed research paper on artificial intelligence, focusing on its responsible use in Texas. The document is part of the Better Tech for Tomorrow campaign.

David Dunmoyer from TPPF stated, "The question we are hoping to answer is how do we responsibly, transparently, and effectively harness the power of AI while minimizing or outright preventing irreparable harm?"

Zach Whiting, also from TPPF, emphasized the dual nature of AI: "Artificial Intelligence is a tool and like any tool some will use it with good intentions and others will use it for harm. What we need to focus on is how we can foster innovation while respecting human dignity."

The research outlines several key points:

- Humanity faces an inflection point with AI offering both promises and challenges. The paper examines ways to balance these aspects.

- It stresses the importance of defining technical components within AI to legislate effectively regarding enforceability and policy scope.

- The study includes case studies across various sectors such as healthcare, law enforcement, national security, online safety for children, education, and finance to demonstrate AI's varied applications and impacts.

- It advocates for balancing technological advancement with respect for human dignity, privacy, transparency, and accountability. The report suggests that state-based legislative guardrails driven by values are essential.
