You shouldn't ever be looking at your phone while you're driving. Mine is in my bag or in the arm wrest storage box while I'm driving. If I get a call it comes over the radio and I answer it with a button on the steering wheel.
I'm not a 16 year old gigglehead texting her BFFs. The occasional, responsible glance at my phone will not get me or anyone else killed. People have been using their cell phones for 30 years with few problems.
How is texting proven anywhere? Any time I look at my phone I could be texting, using the GPS, playing music, or answering a call. Maybe I'm checking the time.
If you are involved in an accident, they could subpoena your cell phone records to prove it.

I think you're missing the point. With such a large fine people will fight back, and fight back hard. You're little speech means nothing in a court of law. It's not what you know, it is what you can prove. Either this will not be enforced very often or the state will find it very costly to fight. I just hope they don't try and pull the crap that was happening in Nevada after their hand-free only law went in to effect. Cops were seemingly pulling people over at random and claiming they saw them on the phone. In that case it was only a $150 or so fine, most people don't bother to fight it. That will not be the case here.

They simply contact the NSA and they can quickly tell what you were doing with regards to texting or phone.
$10,000 fine first offense for texting and driving in Alaska
The OP title is misleading. The $10k fine comes into play when its a Felony rather than a Misdemeanor. So if the First offence results in physical injury or death then its well deserved.
They just delivered the first ones last year after they built the first road to that country a few years ago.
