Trump plans to form âAI Force,â appoint âAI Czarâ
The president compared his proposed âAI Forceâ to the Space Force, which he established during his first term, but did not elaborate on how the agency would operate or what its duties would entail.
For the new âAI Czarâ position, Trump said, âOnly High I.Q. individuals need to apply!â He did not expand further on the latest iteration of the role.
Joint Letter to Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith Opposing Further U.S.-Israel Defense Integration
Dear Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith,
As you enter into conference to resolve the differences between the House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027 (H.R.8800) and the pending Senate bill (S.4784), We, the undersigned U.S. organizations, strongly urge you to reject the entrenchment of U.S. and Israeli defense collaboration, which goes against U.S. national interests and values, and would expand the risk of U.S. complicity in, and exposure to, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide.
Specifically, we are deeply concerned by Section 219 in the House NDAA and Section 1217 in the Senate version, which establish a new U.S. Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative aimed at accelerating joint research, development, and integration of Israeli-origin and jointly developed defense technologies into U.S. military systems and programs of record. This would expand U.S-Israeli military integration across some of the most sensitive domains of emerging technology, including quantum computing, AI and autonomous systems, cyber and electronic warfare, directed energy, and defense industrial base co-production, while expediting pathways from R&D into procurement.
56 US groups urge Congress to drop Israel defence ties provision
The provision would deepen cooperation between the US and Israeli defence sectors by accelerating joint military technology development and other partnerships. The bill passed the House of Representatives in July and awaits Senate action.
The provision of the 2027 National Defence Authorisation Act, known as Section 219, seeks to set up frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements and US-based co-production partnerships with the Israeli industry.
In Thursday‘s letter addressed to leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, 56 groups said deeper integration with Israel‘s defence sector would be „exceptionally dangerous“ and urged lawmakers to remove the provision.
Unfortunately the Rule passed just now and no debate or vote was allowed on section 219, integration of US military technology and supply chains with Israelâs. The NDAA will receive a recorded vote tomorrow with section 219 in it. Iâll vote no.
7:11 PM · Jul 21, 2026
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

House Rule Advances 2027 NDAA With Section to Integrate US and Israeli Militaries
The House on Tuesday approved a procedural vote to advance the $1.15 trillion 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a section to further integrate the US and Israeli militaries, a plan that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said was his idea.
The rule to allow floor debate and a vote on the NDAA and several pieces of legislation passed in a 214-211 vote, and a final vote on the Houseâs version of the NDAA is expected to take place on Wednesday. The procedural step came after the House Rules Committee denied a vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to strip Section 219, the Israeli integration plan, from the bill.
Senate Democrats Block Advancement of $1.1 Trillion NDAA Over Iran War
Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked the advancement of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, citing President Trumpâs war with Iran, which continues to rage following the collapse of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding.
The NDAA would provide the Pentagon with over $1.1 trillion in funding as part of the White Houseâs plan for a $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027, a nearly 50% increase from this year. The bill also includes an amendment, Section 1217, to further merge the US and Israeli militaries under a plan being pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A procedural vote of 50-46 fell well short of the 60 votes that it needed to advance the NDAA. Every Democrat, except two who werenât present for the vote â Senators Jon Fetterman (PA) and Alex Padilla (CA) â voted against advancing the sprawling military spending bill.
How Section 219, the US-Israel Military Merger, Would Thwart American Democracy
(July 13, 2026)
The House provision, which has a Senate version known as Section 1217, would also forbid the president of the United States from limiting intelligence collaboration with Israel over its human rights abuses. If the President ever wants to limit such collaboration, he or she must tell Congress and can only cite American national security as a basis.
In other words, these bills would connect the US and Israeli militaries in unprecedented ways and make it exceedingly difficult for any future president to unwind this partnership with a foreign government.
Congressional Proposal Could Deepen US Complicity
(June 16, 2026)
Buried in the US$1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act is a provision that would deepen US military cooperation with Israel while walling that cooperation off from further congressional oversight.
Section 219 (formerly section 224) creates the role of an âexecutive agentâ focused on folding Israeli technology into US weapons programs, and vice versa, including in missile and air defense technologies as well as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cyberwarfare, and autonomous systems. Once implemented, the provision would speed efforts to embed Israeli technologies into US weapons systems in ways almost never codified into law, even for allies. As the protracted experience with unwinding Turkish participation in the F-35 program shows, practically, integration binds the United States to rely on producers in ways that become next to impossible to walk back later, even if lawmakers want to.
(…)
Section 219 also calls for âdata fusion.â In defense doctrine, data fusion means combining feeds from many sensors and intelligence sources into a single targeting picture. The United States would be absorbing Israeli data, which may have been collected under problematic mass surveillance programs. Moreover, section 219 would be reinforced by section 622 of the intelligence appropriations bill, which mandates intelligence sharing and would further promote combining US intelligence streams with Israeli ones that could then be used by the Israeli military for targeting.

When Encryption Meets Quantum
(May 14, 2026)
Quantum processors can evaluate many possible solutions in parallel rather than sequentially. This capability has profound implications for cryptography. Todayâs most widely deployed encryption schemes, RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), can be broken and rendered obsolete by a quantum computer.
Everything from industrial IoT sensors and automotive control systems to cloud infrastructure and secure boot mechanisms relies on RSA or ECC for encryption today. When quantum computers reach the scale required to break these algorithms, that entire trust architecture collapses simultaneously.
Compounding the urgency is an attack vector already in use: Harvest now, decrypt later.
Jeffrey Epstein Recruited NSA Codebreakers for Genome âManhattan Projectâ
(February 10, 2026)
For the next decade, Epstein continued to recruit engineers from U.S. national security entities, including DARPA, to his genome hacking project. He asked Kathryn Ruemmler, the White House attorney who had handled the legal fallout from the Edward Snowden leaks, to help him source cryptographers from the National Security Agency. âCan you find a guy from nsa that can think about signal intelligence applied to DNA,â Epstein wrote . âI want to intercept communication between living cells in organisms.â
In late 2012, he had sent the same request to Boris Nikolic, Bill Gatesâ top aide: âdo you have any contacts at nsa so that we can use de encypriton (sic) in biological systems?â âYes,â Nikolic replied, âThere are no many places where I do not have someone ;)â

CIQâs NSS Module 1st to Achieve CAVP Certification for Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms
(February 4, 2026)
The National Security Agencyâs CNSA 2.0 sets a compressed timeline for National Security Systems to adopt quantumâresistant cryptography, with key transition milestones beginning in 2027 and a full migration targeted by 2035. However, the âharvest now, decrypt laterâ threat makes immediate preparation critical. Adversaries can collect encrypted data today and decrypt it once quantum computers become capable.
Quantum Computing Forces Shift to Post-Quantum Security
(February 3, 2026)
This technical vulnerability facilitates „harvest now, decrypt later“ attacks. In these scenarios, malicious actors capture encrypted communications in the present to decrypt them once quantum hardware achieves the necessary stability and processing power.
The cybersecurity landscape faces a critical convergence between artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Nikesh Arora, CEO, Palo Alto Networks, says during the Quantum-Safe Summit that quantum technology is no longer a theoretical scientific project but an operational reality with documented success in stable computing tasks. The integration of these capabilities accelerates the decryption of traditional security protocols, which compromises sensitive government and industrial information.
China Launches Its Own Quantum-Resistant Encryption Standards, Bypassing US Efforts
(February 18, 2025)
That, in itself might not be seen as an unusual initiative, but experts see Chinaâs decision to pursue an independent cryptographic standard as a strategic move. As reported by New Scientist, China may be avoiding US-led encryption initiatives due to concerns over potential âback doorsâ that could allow US intelligence agencies to access encrypted communications. There is also speculation that China may seek to integrate its own covert access points into its encryption protocols.
Microsoftâs Quantum Chip Breakthrough Accelerates Threat to Encryption Protocols
(February 21, 2025)
However, the announcement has also underscored the urgency of organizations transitioning to post-quantum cryptography. This is because quantum computers of this scale will be able to rapidly solve mathematical equations that make up current encryption protocols, such as RSA and AES.
Such a scenario will leave data, connections and components used by all organizations exposed.
Malicious actors are also believed to be already stockpiling encrypted data in anticipation of quantum technology to mature, in what are known as âharvest now, decrypt laterâ attacks.
âAll systems need to be hardenedâ: Officials, industry sound the alarm on quantum threat to encryption
(September 29, 2023)
Such an all-conquering computer doesnât actually exist yet. But there lies the paradox of whatâs called quantum-resistant or âpost-quantumâ encryption: You donât need a quantum computer to start laying the foundations for a quantum-powered hack â or, fortunately, to start building a defense.
The threat is a tactic called âcollect now, decrypt later.â Well-heeled foreign intelligence agencies (and the American NSA) already scoop up terabytes of encrypted communication. Whatever they canât crack today can just go into long-term storage, waiting for quantum computers to get powerful enough to break them.
EuroHPC Announces First Exascale Supercomputer and Four Other Systems
(June 15, 2022)
JUPITER, EuroHPC says, will be the first European exascale supercomputer when it is installed in 2023. It will be hosted by the JĂŒlich Supercomputing Centre (FZJ) in a specially designed building.
(…)
But that wasnât all: EuroHPC also announced four additional sites for âmid-range supercomputers with petascale or pre-exascale capabilitiesâ: Greece, Hungary, Ireland and Poland.
NATO Secretary General calls for creation of a transatlantic quantum community, welcomes Denmarkâs leadership
(29 Sep. 2023)
Later in the day, the Secretary General opened the new NATO accelerator site âDeep Tech Lab â Quantumâ together with the Danish Minister of Defence, Troels Lund Poulsen; the Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Morten BĂždskov; and the Minister of Higher Education and Science, Christina Egelund. The Lab will help start-ups from across the Alliance commercialise quantum-enabled solutions, as part of NATOâs new Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).
DIANA consists of a network of test centers and accelerator sites across NATO countries, where innovators develop new technologies to solve pressing security challenges. The Deep Tech Lab â Quantum in Copenhagen is one of five pilot accelerator sites launched in 2023.
What‘s happening in Parliament next week?
Main debate: MPs consider Lords amendments to the extensively paused and re-written Online Safety Bill.
(…)
The government now says that the tech regulator, Ofcom, would only require companies to scan their networks for harmful material, like child sexual abuse and exploitation content, when a technology was developed that was capable of doing so – thus kicking the issue into the very long grass.
IBM Launches $100 Million Partnership with Global Universities to Develop Novel Technologies Towards a 100,000-Qubit Quantum-Centric Supercomputer
Over the next decade, IBM plans to work with university partners and its worldwide quantum ecosystem to evolve how its quantum processors can be connected via quantum interconnects. This work will aim to enable high-efficiency, high-fidelity inter-processor quantum operations and a reliable, flexible, and affordable system component infrastructure to allow scaling to 100,000 qubits.
IBM‘s collaboration with the University of Chicago will build upon the Chicago area‘s strengths in quantum research. The University of Chicago seeded the region‘s quantum ecosystem more than a decade ago with the decision to make quantum technology a focus of what is now the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering.

IBM begins installing on-premise quantum computer at Ohioâs Cleveland Clinic
(October 24, 2022)
Cleveland Clinic will also be home to the worldâs first on-premise Q System Two â IBMâs ânext generation 1,000+ qubit‘ system â in the future. The company‘s most powerful quantum chip is currently the 127-qubit Eagle, announced last year; the 433-qubit Osprey is due to launch sometime this year.
How Quantum Computers Work
A 30-qubit quantum computer would equal the processing power of a conventional computer that could run at 10 teraflops (trillions of floating-point operations per second).
The Mathematics Behind Quantum Computing: Part I
(May 2007)
For a 1024-bit number, Shor‘s Algorithm requires on the order of 1024(3), about one billion, operations. I do not have any information on how quickly quantum operations can be executed, but if each one took one second our factorization would last 34 years. If a quantum computer could run at the speed of today‘s electronic computers (100 million instructions per second and up) then factorization of the 1024-bit number would be a matter of seconds.
