This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission to create a free online tool that uses artificial intelligence to help the public identify scams within one year of the law's enactment. The tool would allow anyone to submit suspected scams in multiple formats, including emails, text messages, website links, and photographs of physical materials, and would evaluate and rate the likelihood that each submission is actually a scam. The legislation affects all members of the public who may encounter potential scams, with the goal of improving consumer protection against fraud schemes that attempt to steal money or personal information. The bill does not specify dedicated funding for the project, leaving budget allocation to the FCC's discretion. This represents a consumer protection measure intended to leverage artificial intelligence technology to combat the growing problem of scams targeting American consumers.
