Trump's Tech Council: Big Names, Big Impact

0:00On March 25, President Trump is putting together a new advisory council on science and technology packed with top names from the tech world. The group, called the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, or PCAS, includes leaders like Metta's Mark Zuckerberg, oracles, Larry Ellison, and Vitya's Jensen Huang and Google co-founder Sergei Brinn. Their main job will be guiding policies on artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and other cutting-edge fields. The council will be co-chaired by White House AI and crypto-advisor David Sachs and tech-advisor Michael Kratzios. Officials say an initial list of 13 members comes out on Wednesday, with plans to grow it to as many as 24 through an executive order. Industry leaders seem eager to jump in, viewing this as a chance for the U.S. to take the lead in AI worldwide. It ties into Trump's push for a friendlier regulatory setup that boosts innovation and helps American workers adapt to new tech. This setup builds on similar councils used by past presidents, from George W. Bush,
