Angela Wilkins, executive director of Rice University’s Ken Kennedy Institute, is one of four members appointed to the Texas Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisory Council by Governor Greg Abbott. Established by House Bill 2060 and sponsored by Representative Giovanni Capriglione and Senator Tan Parker, the council studies and monitors AI systems developed, employed or procured by state agencies.

“During this critical phase of technological evolution, establishing clear guidelines for artificial intelligence is essential,” Wilkins said. “At this point, where innovation meets responsibility, the policies we enact will significantly influence AI’s impact on our society. It is imperative that we thoughtfully implement this technology to not only stimulate business and technological advancement in Texas but to also maintain a steadfast commitment to fairness, accountability and transparency.”
