“SHORT TITLE. This title may be cited as ``Blocking Large-scale Adversarial Distillation Efforts Act of 2026'' or ``BLADE Act''. SEC. 1702. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) artificial intelligence models owned by United States private sector entities are essential for advancing economic and national security interests of the United States; (2) many of the most advanced artificial intelligence models owned by United States entities are ``closed-source models'' whose unique technical characteristics are not openly shared or published; (3) the unauthorized acquisition of model capabilities, such as model weights, model architectures, and other technical characteristics of closed-source artificial intelligence models, by persons of concern through model extraction attacks represents a threat to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, as well as the intellectual property rights and economic competitiveness of United States entities; (4) the United States Government, in cooperation with private owners of closed-source artificial intelligence models, should take steps to identify, punish, and deter model extraction attacks on the protected capabilities of closed-source artificial intelligence models by persons of concern; (5) model extraction attacks against United States closed- source artificial intelligence models allow foreign adversaries a short cut to acquiring advanced artificial intelligence capabilities; and (6) authorized model training practices that adhere to the terms of service or are otherwise consistent with contractual terms set by the owners of closed-source artificial intelligence models are a legitimate research method that play an important role in artificial intelligence research and are fundamentally distinct from model extraction attacks addressed by this title.”
