President Trump has announced the formation of a new advisory council for science and technology, tapping notable figures from the tech industry, including Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, and Larry Ellison. This panel, designed to provide guidance on emerging technologies and AI policy, includes 13 prominent tech executives and aims to shape the government’s approach towards technology and innovation. Critics, however, have expressed concerns over the involvement of prominent Silicon Valley figures, suggesting it may prioritize corporate interests. The council brings together some of the biggest names in tech as they help to navigate national technology strategy amidst ongoing discussions about regulation and innovation.
