Relating to biometric identifiers used in the performance of artificial intelligence.

SB 2490 defines biometric identifiers (like fingerprints, facial scans, or voiceprints) used in artificial intelligence systems. It specifies that Texas law governing biometric data storage and destruction applies only when companies collect biometrics *specifically to identify individuals* for AI, not for general AI training. Crucially, if a company uses captured biometric data for a second commercial purpose (e.g., marketing), they must follow the law's rules for handling that data. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects businesses collecting biometric data for AI applications.
