Trump Appoints Tech Executives to Strategic AI Advisory Council
The US administration is strengthening ties with Big Tech by appointing industry leaders to a key advisory board. The move aims to accelerate artificial intelligence development amid intensifying international competition.
Donald Trump has appointed several prominent figures from the technology sector to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), tasked with advising the executive branch on scientific and technological matters. Among the high-profile appointees are Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and AMD CEO Lisa Su are also included in this initial list of 13 members.
The council, which could eventually have up to 24 members, will be co-chaired by David Sacks, the White House lead for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, and Michael Kratsios, technology advisor. This initiative aligns with the administration's goal to solidify US leadership in AI, which is viewed as a critical strategic priority, particularly in the face of competition from China.
The group's composition illustrates a deepening alignment between political leadership and major tech corporations, which are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping public policy. The companies involved have broadly welcomed the move, suggesting it could foster innovation and bolster American competitiveness in the global AI race.
