The federal agency that protects consumers from dangerous products, like faulty appliances or toys with safety hazards, will run a test program using artificial intelligence to help spot injury trends, flag unsafe products, and catch recalled or improperly imported items before they cause harm. Separately, the government agency that handles business and trade issues will study how blockchain (the digital record-keeping technology behind things like cryptocurrency) could be used to protect consumers, and the agency that polices scams and false advertising will report on what it's doing to stop fraud involving digital tokens. In practice, this mainly changes how these agencies do their jobs behind the scenes—regular consumers won't see an immediate difference, but it could shape how product recalls and crypto-related scams get handled down the road.
