President Trump has named 13 initial members to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and AMD CEO Lisa Su, with the council expected to expand to up to 24 members. The council will be co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and technology adviser Michael Kratsios, and is expected to play a central role in shaping U.S. AI policy amid intensifying competition with China. The appointments follow Trump's January directive to federal agencies to prepare an AI Action Plan aimed at reducing regulatory barriers and accelerating private-sector AI investment.
