#38 - Senator Angela Paxton: AI and Kids Online. Safety and Learning
Senator Angela Paxton, who represents Senate District 8 in the Texas Senate
Welcome to Episode #38 of Bills & Business. In this episode, Laura Davis, Co-Founder of USLege, sits down with Senator Angela Paxton, who represents Senate District 8 in the Texas Senate.
Senator Paxton has been a prominent advocate in education, innovation, and online safety. As a mother, grandmother, and former educator, she has supported landmark legislation like House Bill 1181, Texas’ effort to protect children online that reached the U.S. Supreme Court, and Senate Bill 2420, the App Store Accountability Act, which aims for stronger protections in the digital marketplace.
In this conversation, Senator Paxton shares insights on how families can better navigate the risks of technology, why app store accountability is urgent, and how Texas can set a precedent in protecting children online. She also discusses the promise and peril of artificial intelligence, what excites her, what worries her, and whether Texas should consider a pause or stronger guardrails on AI adoption.
