A coalition of 78 civil rights, labor, consumer protection, technology accountability and community organizations on Monday urged the US Senate to remove existing artificial intelligence (AI) sandbox provisions from the proposed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), warning that the measure could allow financial institutions to test AI systems without legal protections for consumers, making them effectively unaccountable. However, they argued that AI systems should remain subject to the same legal obligations as other financial technologies. The proposed AI Innovation Labs would operate as regulatory sandboxes, allowing companies to test AI products under reduced regulatory requirements. The AI provisions are part of the CLARITY ACT, which seeks to establish a federal regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and digital assets. Supporters of the CLARITY Act argue that clearer rules would reduce regulatory uncertainty, encourage investment, and preserve digital asset innovation in the US.
