A White House Policy Group Identifies Digital Assets and DLT as Vital for US National Security
The Fast Track Action Subcommittee, a White House policy group, released an updated report that highlights critical emerging technologies for US national security. The report categorizes distributed ledger technologies (DLT), digital assets, and digital payment technologies under the umbrella of “data privacy, data security, and cybersecurity technologies.” It also includes other important areas such as privacy-enhancing technologies, artificial intelligence, advanced computing, and human-machine interfaces.
Insights into Investments and Talent Development
The National Science and Technology Council established the subcommittee in 2020 to identify critical and emerging technologies for national security purposes. The recent update to the list provides valuable insights into how Congress and the executive branch prioritize investments and talent development in specific domains.
Roadmap to Technological Leadership
The list serves as a roadmap for enhancing US technological leadership and addressing security threats. It highlights innovative technologies that shape American innovation and bolster national security. The White House’s focus on emerging tech has a direct impact on industry policies and asset values, as seen with President Biden’s Executive Order on AI, which affected crypto markets last year.
