An AI immigration dragnet vs. AI deregulation and growthRemaya Campbell, acting commissioner for Homeland Security for the District of Columbia, said that AI could automate immigration-related decision-making, bypassing traditional processes. "And in the Trump administration, that could certainly mean reinforcing intersectional biases to align with political priorities," she said. "Expectations are that a Trump administration would push for even more AI surveillance, potentially introducing autonomous patrols and expanding biometric screening," Sahota said. While this could improve border security, it could also spark concerns around privacy, particularly for those living near borders. She thinks AI will blossom and be deregulated in a Trump administration.

If compromised, AI systems could be used to interfere with or take control of strategically important national space missions. Critical space infrastructure is susceptible to threats across three key segments: in space, on the ground segment and within the communication links between the two. "In many ways, the threats to critical infrastructure on Earth can cause vulnerabilities in space," Lonstein said. "The consequences of malicious cyber activities include loss of mission data, decreased lifespan or capability of space systems or constellations, or the control of space vehicles." Use of strict access controls, authentication, and error correction mechanisms can further ensure that AI systems operate with accurate information.

Shares of key global semiconductor equipment firms jumped on Thursday after a report that the U.S. is considering sanctions on China's chip industry that stop short of earlier proposals. The U.S. is now considering adding fewer suppliers to Chinese technology giant Huawei to an export blacklist known as the Entity List. Analysts at Jefferies said ASML had previously guided toward a 30% decline in its revenue from China next year. The Bloomberg report suggested that further sanctions under consideration would target Chinese firms making semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rather than the factories that actually make the chips. This is also a positive for ASML and other foreign semiconductor equipment firms that sell to fabs.
