Initial Membership Includes Leaders From Meta, Nvidia, Oracle, and Google

President Donald Trump is forming a powerful new tech advisory group packed with Silicon Valley heavyweights, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, and Google cofounder Sergey Brin. The group, as noted in theverge.com, will serve on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), tasked with shaping national policy across AI, the economy, education, and security.

The council, which will initially include 13 members and could expand to 24, is being co-chaired by Trump’s AI and crypto czar David Sacks and White House tech advisor Michael Kratsios. Its mandate is broad—providing guidance on innovation policy while advising on issues impacting the American workforce, national security, and economic competitiveness.

What makes this iteration of PCAST notable is its deep concentration of AI leadership. With figures like Huang and Zuckerberg at the table, the administration is signaling a strong alignment with industry voices at a time when AI regulation remains a contentious issue. Trump has already pushed to limit state-level AI regulations, and this council could play a key role in shaping federal direction.

Several members also have prior ties to Trump and his administration. Oracle has been involved in major tech deals under Trump, while Zuckerberg and Brin have participated in high-profile political events. As AI becomes increasingly central to geopolitical and economic strategy, this council reflects a growing convergence between government policy and Big Tech influence.
