Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang are part of Trump’s new ‘tech panel’
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Google cofounder Sergey Brin will be the first four members of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), according to the Wall Street Journal.
The panel, which will “weigh in on AI policy,” will include 13 members to start, but could grow to 24. Trump’s AI and crypto czar David Sacks and White House tech advisor Michael Kratsios will co-chair the panel.
According to the White House’s January announcement for the panel, PCAST will “advise the President on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy. The Council shall also provide the President with scientific and technical information that is needed to inform public policy relating to the American economy, the American worker, national and homeland security, and other topics.”
Trump appointed a similar panel during his first term, but it didn’t include as many tech CEOs. The 2026 panel’s first four members, especially Zuckerberg and Huang, have deep ties to the AI industry, which Trump has been pushing to block states from regulating over the past year.
