HR 8382 United States House · 119th Congress

To prohibit the manufacture and conveyance of certain products for children that incorporate an artificial intelligence chatbot, and for other purposes.

This bill proposes to prohibit the manufacture, import, sale, or distribution of children's toys and child care articles that incorporate an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. This prohibition would apply to manufacturers, importers, sellers, and distributors, taking effect 180 days after the bill's enactment. A "chatbot" is defined as technology using AI or machine learning to engage in interactive conversations, and "child care articles" include items like those used for a child's sleep, feeding, or hygiene. Violations of this prohibition would be treated as violations under the existing Consumer Product Safety Act.
