An Act amending the act of December 17, 1968 (P.L.1224, No.387), known as the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, further providing for definitions and for unlawful acts or practices and exclusions.

HB 518 amends Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices law to address consumer guarantees generated by artificial intelligence. It specifically makes it unlawful for businesses to fail to honor written guarantees, warranties, or policies created by consumer-facing AI systems. The bill defines "artificial intelligence" broadly to include systems that perform human-like tasks (e.g., learning, decision-making) without significant human oversight. This directly affects businesses using AI for customer commitments, adding a new prohibited practice under the state's consumer protection law. The change clarifies that deceptive AI-generated promises now fall under existing penalties for unfair trade practices.
