Ban artificial intelligence chatbots in children's toys and childcare articles.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congressman Blake Moore introduced the AI Children's Toy Safety Act to ban the manufacturing, importation, sale, or distribution of any children’s toy or childcare article that incorporates an artificial intelligence chatbot in the United States.
The bill text states that no person may manufacture, import, sell, offer to sell, or distribute in commerce any children's toy or child care article that incorporates an artificial intelligence chatbot.
Assessments
Moore made a concrete federal legislative attempt in the same term by introducing the AI Children's Toy Safety Act, and the bill text closely matches the promise to ban AI chatbots in children's toys and childcare articles. However, the provided evidence shows only bill introduction and referral, with no enactment or completed federal ban. Because the promised policy outcome has not been delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt, this should be scored as never with an effort badge.
