President Trump has appointed 13 tech leaders to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and AMD CEO Lisa Su. The council, which could ultimately include 24 people, will advise on AI policy and other technology issues, with particular focus on competing with China's state-backed AI capabilities. This signals a direct industry-to-government pipeline for shaping national AI strategy and technology policy at the highest levels.
