Project 2025: The 2025 Presidential Transition Project: on Technology


Joe Biden: Industries of the Future: robotics & green/clean products

(p.58): During the Trump and Biden Administrations, there has been a bipartisan focus on prioritizing R&D funding around the so-called Industries of the Future (IOTF). Under President Trump, IOTF priorities were artificial intelligence (AI), quantum information science (QIS), advanced communications/5G, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology. Under President Biden, this list has been expanded to include advanced materials, robotics, battery technology, cybersecurity, green products and clean technology, plant genetics and agricultural technologies, nanotechnology, and semiconductor and microelectronics technologies. These priorities should be evaluated and narrowed to ensure consistency with the next Administration's priorities

(p.392): However, it would be important to guard against attempts to transform the strategy into a government-led industrial policy or, in a progressive Administration, an economy-wide climate policy.

Heritage Foundation: Reset Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework

In 2022, the Biden Administration negotiated a new agreement, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, intended to withstand European legal challenges. At most, the executive order's changes will be helpful support for the framework in future European litigation; at worst, they could throw sand in the gears of important intelligence programs.

An incoming conservative President should reset Europe's expectations. Brussels has always arbitraged the difference between being a military ally against, for example, Russia and conducting a full-blown trade conflict with the U.S. Restrictions on data exports have been part of the trade conflict, but now they could seriously harm our military and intelligence capabilities. Moreover, restrictions on U.S. intelligence collection hurt the Europeans themselves, especially as the United States shares unprecedented amounts of intelligence on Russia's invasion of Ukraine with Europeans.

Joe Biden: Set up Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework

In 2022, the Biden Administration negotiated a new agreement, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, intended to withstand European legal challenges. [President Biden's] Executive Order 14086, "Enhancing Safeguards for U.S. Signals Intelligence Activities," implements this new framework by attempting to align signals intelligence collection practices with European privacy regulations. At most, the executive order's changes will be helpful support for the framework in future European litigation; at worst, they could throw sand in the gears of important intelligence programs.

[The European Union] has always arbitraged the difference between being a military ally against, for example, Russia and conducting a full-blown trade conflict with the U.S. Restrictions on data exports have been part of the trade conflict, but now they could seriously harm our military and intelligence capabilities.
