Trust Stamp President Andrew Gowasack commented, "This decision is a major affirmation of the urgent need and market potential for AI-based age estimation services. The Texas statute recognizes the risk of personal information being stored in potentially insecure environments and with Trust Stamp's age estimation technology, no biometric data is ever stored. HB 1181 imposes substantial penalties on non-compliant sites and we believe that there will now be a rush to comply with the law. That aside, there are countless online and in-person use cases for age estimation services both to limit access by minors and to protect sites designed for use by minors from misuse by adults, and we believe that they all create substantial opportunities for our privacy-protecting AI-Powered solution."
