Cybersecurity takes a big hit in new Trump executive order

A recent executive order from the Trump administration has dismantled several cybersecurity regulations established under President Biden. Key provisions removed include requirements for quantum-safe encryption, secure software frameworks, and measures to enhance Internet routing security. Critics argue these changes weaken cybersecurity defenses, allowing potential vulnerabilities reminiscent of the SolarWinds attack to persist. While the order is seen as pro-business and anti-regulation, experts warn it may lead to increased risks and challenges in cybersecurity management.

Trump administration takes aim at Biden and Obama cybersecurity rules

President Trump signed an executive order rolling back cybersecurity policies from the Obama and Biden administrations. The order removes requirements for digital identity documents and AI testing for cybersecurity while rejecting quantum-resistant encryption mandates.

It also limits cybersecurity-related sanctions to foreign actors, arguing this prevents misuse against domestic political opponents and clarifies the scope concerning election activities.

Joe Biden or Donald Trump can still rescue TikTok; here's how

The 2020 ban on TikTok by Trump could be reversed by Biden using a law that allows a 90-day extension for TikTok's sale, contingent on progress towards divestment. Trump could alternatively redirect his Justice Department to deprioritize enforcement or issue an executive order claiming national security benefits to retain TikTok. Another option is a Supreme Court stay on the government lawsuit, providing time for new legal arguments and avoiding legal complications.

President Trump signed an executive order directing the FAA to lift the 52-year ban on supersonic flight over U.S. soil, just weeks after bipartisan legislation was introduced with the same aim. The order requires the FAA to create noise-based certification standards, permitting faster-than-sound travel without audible sonic booms reaching the ground. This move could expedite commercial supersonic flight development. Trump also signed orders to accelerate drone commercialization and establish a task force on drone restrictions.

Trump allies want to “Make America First in AI” with sweeping executive order

Former President Donald Trump's allies have reportedly drafted a comprehensive executive order focused on advancing military technology and reducing regulations on AI development. Titled "Make America First in AI," the proposed plan signifies a potential shift in AI policy if Trump were to return to the White House in 2025. The draft order suggests creating "industry-led" agencies to evaluate AI models and protect against foreign threats. It contrasts with the Biden administration's executive order, which imposed safety testing requirements on advanced AI systems. The conservative Heritage Foundation is also developing its own AI policies to enhance US research and development while limiting China's access to the technology.
