Trump Taps Zuckerberg, Ellison, Huang for Science Advisory Council

President Trump is assembling a tech power squad. Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Jensen Huang are set to join the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, according to a U.S. official cited by the Wall Street Journal.

David Sacks will co-chair the council. The group's mandate includes advising the president on how to regulate artificial intelligence, among other policy issues.

The appointments put three of the most influential figures in AI development — the heads of Meta, Oracle, and NVIDIA — directly in Trump's ear on tech policy. That's a staggering concentration of industry influence on the regulatory process.

The council's scope extends beyond AI, but that's clearly the headline priority. How these executives shape guidance on the technology their own companies are racing to dominate will be worth watching closely.
