technology and digital tokens, respectively.

                         I. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY

    H.R. 8128, the ``Consumer Safety Technology Act'', was 
introduced on August 28, 2020, by Representatives Jerry 
McNerney (D-CA) and Michael C. Burgess (R-TX). H.R. 8128, as 
remoted, incorporates text based on two additional bills that 
together help modernize our consumer protection agencies.
    H.R. 8128 requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission 
(CPSC) to establish a pilot program to explore the use of 
artificial intelligence for at least one of the following 
purposes: (1) tracking injury trends; (2) identifying consumer 
product hazards; (3) monitoring the retail marketplace for the 
sale of recalled consumer products; or (4) identifying unsafe 
imported consumer products.
    During its consideration of the bill, the full Committee 
adopted an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
incorporating text based on two other bills referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce: H.R. 8153, the ``Blockchain 
Innovation Act'' and an amended version of H.R. 2154, the 
``Digital Taxonomy Act''. H.R. 8153 directs the Department of 
Commerce (DOC), in consultation with the Federal Trade 
Commission (FTC), to conduct a study and submit to Congress a 
report on the state of blockchain technology in commerce, 
including its use to reduce fraud and increase security. H.R. 
2154, as incorporated, directs the FTC to submit to Congress a 
report and recommendations on unfair or deceptive acts or 
practices relating to digital tokens.

                II. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with 
protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or 
death associated with the use of the thousands of types of 
consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction.\1\ The CPSC 
has various tools to support its consumer product safety 
mission but faces growing challenges. The CPSC has broad 
jurisdiction over more than 15,000 consumer products used in 
and around the home, in recreation, in schools, and more.\2\ In 
addition, international trade and technological advances have 
further expanded the range of products in the market, making 
overseeing and regulating consumer products even more 
complex.\3\ Changing consumer trends, including the rise of 
online shopping, also requires the CPSC to refocus its efforts 
to protect consumers from unsafe e-commerce shipments entering 
the United States.\4\

    Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, a subset 
of AI, have vast potential benefits and can support the CPSC's 
product safety mission and improve the agency's operations. AI 
could help identify hazardous products, assess the risk of 
imported consumer products and monitor online marketplaces for 
recalled products. At a recent Subcommittee on Consumer 
Protection and Commerce hearing, former CPSC Acting Chairman 
Ann Marie Buerkle testified that the CPSC is not currently 
using AI but that AI could help the agency analyze more 
data.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Another emerging technology that can be useful in promoting 
consumer protection is blockchain technology.\6\ Already widely 
used in cryptocurrencies, blockchain has the potential to 
benefit many other industries because of its ability to keep 
track of transactions accurately, securely, and efficiently.\7\ 
At the same time, blockchain technology, including its use in 
cryptocurrencies, may come with risks for consumers.\8\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    H.R. 8128 is needed to help ensure our consumer protection 
agencies stay up to date with emerging technologies and to 
encourage the use of emerging technologies such as AI and 
blockchain in support of product safety and consumer 
protection.
