According to Cointelegraph, Kamala Harris made her first statement in support of protecting encryption technology, expressing her hope that the United States will maintain its dominance in emerging technology industries such as blockchain and artificial intelligence.
“We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, continue to lead in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing, blockchain, and expand our lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing,” Harris said in a Sept. 25 speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh.
She added: “The next generation of breakthrough technologies — from advanced batteries to geothermal to advanced nuclear — must not only be invented in America, but also made by American workers.”
Harris reportedly privately expressed her support for “digital assets” to donors at a fundraiser in New York on September 22.
