SUPERSAFE Act

The SUPERSAFE Act establishes a federal consortium led by the EPA, in partnership with DOE, HHS, and other agencies, to use supercomputers and AI to identify toxic chemicals and develop safer alternatives for consumer and industrial products. The consortium will create predictive models to assess health risks from chemicals and recommend safer options for regulatory decisions and industry use. It requires public sharing of model results and authorizes $20 million in 2023, increasing to $35 million annually through 2027. This directly affects chemical manufacturers, product developers, and federal agencies responsible for chemical safety regulations.
