Paxton proposes data center restrictions in Senate bid

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican Senate candidate, outlined a four-point plan to restrict data centers, including banning Chinese technology and holding developers criminally liable for AI chatbots that harm children. He also pledged to support the DATA Act, which would exempt off-grid electricity providers from certain federal regulations. Paxton's proposal aligns with a growing trend among GOP candidates to take a tougher stance on data center development.
