The Texas Tribune will host “Inside the Interim: A Conversation with Dallas Lawmakers” at noon July 11 at the Dallas College Mountain View Campus.
Whether it’s education, the state budget or housing affordability, Texas lawmakers will have their hands full when they convene for the 2025 legislative session.
The conversation is expected to include Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas, and Rep. Morgan Meyer, R-University Park, about their priorities for the 2025 session and what it all means for Dallas residents. The event will be moderated by Texas Tribune politics reporter James Barragán.
Texas businesses and governments are already using artificial intelligence. In February, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dade Phelan created an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council to explore how state agencies could use the technology. And according to a recent survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, nearly 40% of Texas companies use AI, and more are planning to in the next year.
A separate virtual event is set for 9 a.m. July 31. The Texas Tribune will host a conversation on how Texas business and government leaders are approaching AI, how AI is already having an impact, and what’s on the horizon.
They will talk about the best opportunities for improving efficiency, how AI is ensuring accurate and reliable results, and how we should consider concerns about bias and privacy.
