Trump to appoint Meta, Oracle, and Nvidia CEOs as AI council members

US President Donald ​Trump plans to appoint Meta Platforms ‌CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to ​a panel that weighs in ​on AI policy and other issues, Reuters writes, referring to the ⁠Wall Street Journal.

Trump plans ​to name an initial batch of ​13 members from the industry, also including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, on Wednesday, the report ​said, citing a White House official.

The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) could ultimately include ​24 people, ​according ⁠to an executive order issued in January last year.

The council ​is expected to play a ​key ⁠role in shaping Washington’s response to intensifying global competition in artificial intelligence, ⁠particularly ​with China, where state-backed ​firms have rapidly advanced AI capabilities.
