Paul Singer Quoted on Texas AI Law by Cybersecurity Law Report

Partner and State Attorneys General practice chair Paul Singer was extensively quoted in the article, ​“Texas Adds New Type of State AI Law to U.S. Regulatory Mix,” published by Cybersecurity Law Report.

The article discusses the new Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA), which is Texas’s fifth digital responsibility law, and adds to the Texas Attorney General’s enforcement reach. The law, which takes effect January 2026, is the first in the U.S. to fully ban certain AI uses, with penalties up to $120,000 per violation.

The passing of TRAIGA demonstrates that the Legislature wanted the AG ​“to really look deep into the use of AI” and be a watchdog for addressing known and emerging tech risks, said Paul, a former Texas AG official. ​“Over the last couple of sessions, the Legislature has passed multiple discrete privacy laws, and [TRAIGA] signals that it continues to be a clear enforcement priority,” he added.

The law’s passage ​“should be a wake-up call for any company implementing AI offerings direct to consumers to look hard at their practices, including what they are disclosing to people, how the technology is working and really ensuring that, at the highest levels in the company, they understand what AI they are providing to consumers,” Paul said.
