Consumer Safety Technology Act
The Consumer Safety Technology Act (HR 4814) establishes three key requirements to enhance consumer safety through technology. It mandates the Consumer Product Safety Commission to run an AI pilot program - using artificial intelligence to track product injuries, identify hazards, and monitor recalls - reporting findings to Congress within 180 days. It directs the Commerce Secretary to study blockchain technology's potential for reducing fraud in consumer transactions, requiring a report within six months. Finally, it requires the Federal Trade Commission to submit annual reports on deceptive practices in digital token transactions and recommend legislation to improve consumer protection and foster innovation in that market.
