Sen. Hagerty, Bill [R-TN]

S 5252

Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) introduced this bill to block foreign adversaries (think China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) from extracting the underlying technical features of proprietary, closed-source AI models built by US companies. It targets model theft techniques like model distillation and would give the federal government new export-control-style powers over how US AI firms protect their models.
