Trump names Nvidia, Meta CEOs to science and tech council

The council, initially 13 members including tech leaders Zuckerberg and Huang, aims to shape U.S. AI policy amid strategic competition with China, White House said.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump appointed 13 tech leaders, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Oracle CTO Larry Ellison, to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
  • Re-Established by executive order in January 2025, PCAST advises the Trump administration on emerging-technology policy and workforce development, positioning corporate leaders to shape U.S. AI competitiveness globally.
  • Industry executives dominate the initial roster; only one scientist, John Martinis, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, sits among the 13 appointees, marking a sharp departure from previous panels composed primarily of academic researchers.
  • Co-Chaired by David Sacks and White House Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios, the council will likely embed corporate priorities into policy recommendations, potentially accelerating private-sector innovation and reducing regulatory barriers.
  • Additional appointees are expected as the board may expand to 24 members in the near future. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk remains notably absent from the initial slate despite his prior administration roles.
