## Summary

**This bill would direct federal agencies to strengthen __consumer protection__ by testing artificial intelligence to spot product hazards, studying blockchain to prevent fraud, and defining tokens to guide FTC enforcement.** - Consumers and families would benefit from faster detection of unsafe products through a Consumer Product Safety Commission AI pilot that can track injury trends, identify hazards, and monitor online retail listings for recalled items. The pilot must be established within 1 year and must report its findings after it concludes. - The Department of Commerce would lead a 1-year study on blockchain applications for consumer protection with public comment and a 6-month follow-up report to Congress. The study looks at fraud prevention, public-private best practices, risks and benefits, and potential regulatory changes. - The Federal Trade Commission must issue a report within 1 year cataloging its actions on token-related unfair or deceptive practices, its prevention efforts, and recommendations for legislation and training to improve oversight of token markets.
