US President Donald Trump appointed Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison, and Nvidia chief Jensen Huang to his Council of Advisers on Science and Technology (PCAST). The council will weigh in on AI policy and other issues. Trump has made securing US leadership in artificial intelligence a central priority of his second term.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin and AMD CEO Lisa Su are also part of the initial batch of 13 members from the industry named to PCAST. Within days of taking office, Trump directed federal agencies to prepare an AI Action Plan aimed at reducing regulatory barriers and accelerating private-sector innovation.

The council is expected to play a key role in shaping Washington’s response to intensifying global competition in artificial intelligence. It could ultimately include up to 24 members, the White House said. The latest appointments signal closer alignment between the administration and major technology companies.

The council will be co-chaired by David Sacks and Michael Kratsios. Zuckerberg and Nvidia said the council would help strengthen the United States’ position in AI, while Oracle declined to comment. Alphabet and AMD did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bob Mumgaard of Commonwealth Fusion Systems also joined PCAST, signaling strong government support for the fusion industry.
