Ted Cruz

U.S. Senator from Texas and Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.

Emerging technologies have the potential to improve everyday life and strengthen America’s position on the global stage. But as these technologies continue to evolve, we should carefully consider the ethical questions they raise and ensure human dignity remains at the center of our policymaking. The Human Dignity and Emerging Technologies Act will help ensure that as we lead the world in technological advancement, we remain guided by the values that define our nation.
