Summary

David Sacks, the White House AI and Crypto Czar appointed by President Donald Trump, announced his transition to a new role as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Sacks had overseen early White House crypto initiatives, including work on the GENIUS Act and the crypto market structure bill. He explained that his previous czar role was designated as a "special government employee," limiting his service to 130 working days, a limit Democrats had previously questioned. In his new capacity on PCAST, Sacks stated the council will advise on science, technology, and innovation policy, focusing on areas like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nuclear power, aiming to advance the President's AI framework. The PCAST includes prominent figures such as Marc Andreessen, Sergey Brin, Michael Dell, and Mark Zuckerberg, with Michael Kratsios also serving as co-chair.
