President Donald Trump’s latest round of appointments to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) has drawn enthusiastic praise from a slew of high‑profile tech leaders. Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su said she was “honored to be nominated” and looked forward to advancing U.S. technology leadership, while Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell called it a “privilege” to help ensure America leads in the “Golden Age of Innovation.” The council, co‑chaired by venture capitalist David Sacks and former White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios, also includes Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Alphabet co‑founder Sergey Brin, among others.
The new wave of members reflects a distinctly corporate‑centric composition, with several CEOs posting gratitude on X (formerly Twitter) alongside promises to drive AI and emerging‑technology policy. Sacks highlighted his appointment as a chance to shape science policy, and Kratos emphasized PCAST’s historic role—originating under FDR—to bring America’s brightest minds to the President. The roster further features venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and other executives, underscoring the administration’s focus on industry expertise in steering the nation’s AI strategy.
Not everyone welcomed the shift. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D‑MA) criticized the council as a departure from tradition, arguing that “only money gets a seat at the table.” She pointed out that advisory bodies have historically drawn from leading scientists and academics rather than corporate executives, noting that several of the appointees’ companies have contributed heavily to Trump’s inauguration fund and political action committees. Warren’s remarks highlighted concerns that the influence of big‑tech money could outweigh scientific independence in shaping national policy.
