AI Summary
This bill, known as the Consumer Safety Technology Act, has three key provisions:
1. The "AI for Consumer Product Safety Act" directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish a pilot program to explore the use of artificial intelligence to support its consumer product safety mission, such as tracking injury trends, identifying product hazards, monitoring the marketplace for recalled products, and identifying products that should be refused admission into the U.S.
2. The "Blockchain Innovation Act" requires the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Federal Trade Commission, to conduct a study on the current and potential use of blockchain technology in commerce, including its potential benefits for limiting fraud and other unfair and deceptive acts and practices.
3.
