The White House is assembling Silicon Valley's heaviest hitters for its AI policy brain trust. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin have been tapped as the first four members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move signals Trump's intent to keep America's AI titans close as the administration crafts policy for the technology reshaping global competition.
Silicon Valley's power players are getting official seats at the policy table. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin have been named the first four members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, The Wall Street Journal reported. The appointments put the leaders of America's most influential AI companies directly in the room where policy gets made.
The panel, known as PCAST, will focus heavily on AI policy at a moment when the technology is simultaneously driving trillion-dollar valuations and raising existential questions about national security. Trump's AI and crypto czar David Sacks and White House tech advisor Michael Kratsios will co-chair the group, which starts with 13 members but could expand to 24. The White House announced the council's formation in January, saying it would "advise the President on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy."
