Trump Announces New Tech Council Featuring Zuckerberg, Huang and Others

President Donald Trump’s newly announced Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, featuring tech titans such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang, will advise the administration on artificial intelligence, the economy, education, and national security.

In a bold move to shape U.S. technology policy, the Trump administration unveiled a high‑profile tech council on March 25, 2026. The panel, officially part of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), brings together 13 industry leaders—starting with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle CTO Larry Ellison, and Google co‑founder Sergey Brin. Their mandate: provide data‑driven guidance on AI regulation, economic competitiveness, workforce development, and homeland security.

Background on President Trump’s Tech Council

The concept of a presidential science and technology advisory body is not new; however, Trump’s 2026 iteration is distinct for its heavy representation of private‑sector CEOs. During his first term, a similar panel existed but lacked the depth of executive experience now present. The new council reflects the administration’s strategic pivot toward “innovation‑first” governance, aiming to keep the United States ahead in the global AI race.

• Established by an executive order in January 2026.
• Co‑chaired by AI and crypto czar David Sacks and White House tech adviser Michael Kratsios.
• Initial membership of 13 experts, with the possibility to expand to 24.
• Mandated to deliver quarterly briefings to the President on emerging tech trends.

Key Members: Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, and Others

The council’s first four announced members bring unparalleled expertise in AI, cloud infrastructure, and digital platforms:

All four have previously engaged with the Trump administration—Zuckerberg’s Meta donated to the 2024 campaign, Ellison’s Oracle powered the TikTok divestiture, and Brin attended the 2025 inauguration. Their combined influence signals a concerted effort to shape AI policy before state‑level regulations take hold.

Purpose and Significance of the Council

The council’s charter is broad, yet its core objectives align with three strategic pillars:

1. AI Governance: Craft recommendations that balance innovation with ethical safeguards, especially around generative AI and deep‑fakes.
2. Economic Competitiveness: Identify policies that accelerate AI‑driven productivity while protecting American jobs.
3. National Security: Advise on AI applications for defense, cyber‑resilience, and critical infrastructure protection.

By embedding industry leaders directly into the policy‑making loop, the administration hopes to avoid the “regulation lag” that has plagued emerging technologies in the past. The council’s recommendations will be publicly released, offering transparency and a benchmark for future legislative action.

Quotes, Reactions, and Early Feedback

“We’re at a crossroads where AI can either empower the next generation of American workers or amplify existing inequities. This council gives us a chance to steer the technology responsibly,” – David Sacks, AI & Crypto Czar.

Industry analysts have offered mixed reactions. Some praise the inclusion of top CEOs as a “pragmatic bridge” between government and Silicon Valley, while others warn of potential conflicts of interest. The original Verge article notes that “the council’s success will hinge on its ability to remain independent of corporate lobbying.”

• Legislative proposals on AI transparency and data ownership.
• Federal grants for AI research tied to national security.
• Adoption rates of UBOS’s AI‑ready SaaS solutions among government contractors.
