Plain-English Summary
The SAFE BOTs Act would establish rules for how companies can use automated bots and artificial intelligence in online commerce to ensure they operate transparently and don't unfairly manipulate consumers or markets. The law would likely require businesses to disclose when they're using bots for activities like buying products, posting reviews, or interacting with customers, and would prohibit deceptive practices that harm shoppers or legitimate sellers. This affects e-commerce companies, retailers, and online consumers who encounter automated systems in their shopping experiences.
