Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang are part of Trump’s new ‘tech panel’
Trump's new tech advisory panel will include Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, Larry Ellison, and Sergey Brin, focusing on AI policy.Summary
President Trump has announced the initial members of his new President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The panel, co-chaired by David Sacks and Michael Kratsios, will advise the President on science, technology, education, and innovation policy, with a particular focus on AI. The council will start with 13 members, potentially expanding to 24. This iteration of PCAST differs from Trump’s first term panel by including a significant number of prominent tech CEOs, particularly those with strong ties to the AI industry, an area Trump has recently sought to protect from state regulation. Zuckerberg, Ellison, and Brin also have prior connections to the Trump administration through donations, business dealings (like Oracle’s role in the TikTok divestment deal), and attendance at Trump’s inauguration.
