This bill directs the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a comprehensive study on artificial intelligence-enabled toys to assess potential physical, mental, emotional, and social risks to children under 14 years old. The study will examine educational outcomes from these toys, parental control usage, marketing practices, and whether evidence supports temporarily suspending sales of AI chatbot toys to children. Within two years of the bill's enactment, the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Product Safety Commission must jointly submit an action plan to Congress with recommendations for legislation, disclosure requirements, safety standards, and consumer education initiatives regarding AI-enabled toys. The bill does not appear to include specific funding amounts but establishes clear timelines for both the study and the regulatory response to ensure children's safety in an emerging technology market.
