President Donald Trump on Wednesday named some of the biggest names in American technology to his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, assembling a roster that includes Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
The council, known as PCAST, will be co-chaired by AI and crypto czar David Sacks and Michael Kratsios, a tech investor who previously served as the country’s chief technology officer during Trump’s first term.
The list of appointees includes Trump ally Larry Ellison and Silicon Valley heavyweight Marc Andreessen, as well as Nvidia chief Jensen Huang.
“The United States has the opportunity to lead the world in AI. I’m honoured to join the president’s council and work with other industry leaders to help make this happen,” Zuckerberg said in a statement sent to AFP.
