1 min. read

US President Joe Biden, set to depart on Jan. 20, has issued an executive order to encourage the private sector in constructing AI infrastructure. The order aims to advance US leadership in AI infrastructure by directing the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy to lease federal land for private companies. This partnership between the government and industry is intended to ensure the US remains at the forefront of the AI era. The order mandates the use of US-made semiconductors at federal sites and allows oversight of private sector developers creating AI models on-site. This is Biden's 157th executive order since taking office in 2021 and the eighth in 2025. The move follows Biden's proposal to restrict semiconductor sales to foreign nations, which faced criticism from industry leaders for potentially harming US competitiveness. Biden's successor, President-elect Donald Trump, is expected to address crypto-related issues upon taking office.

The Role of Blockchain in Digital Identity Management

Tuesday. December 24 at 4:00 PM

The emergence of digital identity management has revolutionized online interactions, presenting challenges in security, privacy, and trust. Blockchain technology is increasingly becoming a fundamental aspect of these solutions, offering decentralized, transparent, and secure frameworks for managing identities. Sebastian Rodriguez, Chief Product Officer at Privado ID, discusses blockchain's significance in digital identity solutions, emphasizing self-sovereign identities (SSI) that empower users to control their data and ensure privacy. By decentralizing data management, blockchain eliminates reliance on centralized institutions, embedding trust within the technology itself. Privado ID utilizes advanced cryptographic techniques like Zero-Knowledge Proofs to ensure data privacy and trustless identity verification processes. Despite facing adoption limitations, blockchain-based digital identity systems are projected to grow significantly, transforming how we interact and transact online while prioritizing privacy, security, and user experience.
