"US Executive Order Limits Sales of Sensitive Personal Data to China and Russia"

President Biden has issued an executive order to prevent access to Americans' bulk sensitive personal data and United States Government-related data by countries of concern, citing the threat to national security and foreign policy. The order aims to restrict access to such data by countries of concern and their entities, particularly in the context of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence. The Attorney General, in coordination with relevant agencies, will issue regulations to prohibit or restrict transactions involving such data, and the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector will prioritize reviews of existing licenses for submarine cable systems. Additionally, steps will be taken to protect sensitive personal health data and human genomic data from potential exploitation by countries of concern.
