Latest action on H.R. 1770: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

Who this affects: This affects federal agencies that would have to run the pilot and write the reports, and the people and businesses they interact with. It also affects consumers who buy products online or in stores, and anyone who uses or is targeted by scams involving blockchain-based products or tokens. The bill also pulls in experts and stakeholders because it requires consultation and public input during the pilot and study work.

Why this matters: If the CPSC pilot works well, it could change how quickly and accurately the agency spots dangerous products, recalled items being sold, or patterns in injuries—but the real effect depends on which tasks CPSC chooses and what the pilot shows. The blockchain study and the FTC token report could shape what Congress does next, because they are designed to produce public findings and legislative recommendations. At the same time, the bill is mostly about pilots and reports, so any bigger changes to enforcement or regulation would come later, if Congress or agencies act on the recommendations.

Key provisions in H.R. 1770

  • Makes the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) start an AI pilot program within 1 year after the bill becomes law.
  • Requires the pilot to use AI for at least one job: tracking product-related injury patterns, spotting product hazards, checking marketplaces (including websites) for recalled products, or helping identify unsafe imports that must be refused entry.
  • Requires CPSC to run the pilot while consulting technologists, AI and machine-learning experts, cybersecurity experts, retailers, manufacturers, and consumer safety organizations.
  • Requires CPSC to publish and send Congress a report within 1 year after the pilot ends, including what it found and whether AI changed how well CPSC could carry out its safety mission.
  • Requires the Secretary of Commerce, working with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other agencies, to finish a study within 1 year on how blockchain could be used for consumer protection—especially reducing fraud and other unfair or deceptive practices.
