Summary

The Artificial Intelligence Toy Safety Act would set child‑safety and data‑privacy rules for any toy that uses AI and is marketed to kids. It forces manufacturers to label AI use, obtain and allow revocation of parental consent, limit data collection, and meet strict content standards. The law also creates a review panel to audit compliance and imposes civil penalties and recalls for violations.
