A new White House “final rule” announced Monday aims to shut down the flow of U.S. venture capital and other investment funds into Chinese technology that poses a national security risk, such as quantum computers, artificial intelligence and advanced microelectronics, senior White House officials said.

The U.S. Space Force saw a sixfold increase in demand for foreign military sales over the last year – growth that the service attributes to the increasingly important role space systems play in economic and national security worldwide.

Defense and industry officials said the White House's AI policy memo should be accompanied by greater investment in enabling infrastructure.

Before the end of 2024, officials leading the Pentagon’s temporary generative artificial intelligence-enabling team — Task Force Lima — aim to reveal their findings and plan to guide the military’s way ahead for deploying emerging and extremely powerful frontier models to support operations, a spokesperson told DefenseScoop on Friday.

The document, released Thursday, includes provisions to accelerate the U.S. government’s use of AI to further national security missions, including by tapping into fast-moving innovation in the private sector.

The Pentagon’s Chief Information Office has become laser focused on migrating the entire department to using stronger cryptographic algorithms that will keep its networks and operations secure.

What keeps the digital warriors charged with fighting America’s wars in space awake at night isn’t cyber attacks per se, but more nebulous threats to the integrity of their data, the chief information officer of U.S. Space Command told an industry conference.
