President Trump has formed a high-level AI advisory council including the CEOs of Nvidia and AMD to guide national AI infrastructure and technological strategy.
Context
On March 25, 2026, President Trump officially appointed the first 13 members to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a move aimed at securing American dominance in the global AI race. The 'dream team' features semiconductor titans Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Lisa Su of AMD, alongside other industry leaders like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, and Michael Dell. Notably, the council will be co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and technology adviser Michael Kratsios.
This advisory group is tasked with shaping U.S. policy to navigate the 'Golden Age of Innovation' and maintain a strategic edge over China. The appointments signal a closer alignment between the administration and major chipmakers following the January 2025 executive order that established the council. By involving the CEOs of the world’s most valuable semiconductor firms, the administration seeks to streamline the AI Action Plan and accelerate the domestic supply chain while managing complex export controls on advanced computing commodities.
