President Trump has announced the formation of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and others as initial members. According to The Verge, this panel will focus on advising the President on AI policy and related matters.
The PCAST will consist of 13 members initially and may expand to 24, with David Sacks and Michael Kratsios serving as co-chairs. The White House stated that the council will provide crucial insights on science, technology, education, and innovation policy to guide public policy decisions across various sectors.
This move reflects the administration’s emphasis on the AI industry, aiming to prevent state-level regulatory interference. Zuckerberg and Huang, with their extensive expertise, are expected to contribute significantly to the panel’s work.
