Trump Just Put Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, and Larry Ellison in Charge of America's AI Future
A brand-new 'technology council' with the biggest names in tech will shape AI policy for the entire country. What could possibly go wrong?
President Trump is forming a new "technology council" and he's putting some of the most powerful people in tech right at the table. We're talking Mark Zuckerberg (the Meta and Facebook guy), Jensen Huang (the CEO of Nvidia, the company making the chips that power basically all AI), and Larry Ellison (the billionaire behind Oracle).
The council could include up to 24 people total, and it will be co-chaired by David Sacks, who's been serving as the administration's AI and crypto czar. The whole point? To shape how America handles artificial intelligence going forward.
Now, here's why this matters to regular people: the decisions this council makes could affect everything from whether AI replaces your job to how your personal data gets used to what rules (if any) AI companies have to follow.
Critics are already raising eyebrows. Putting the CEOs of companies that profit the most from AI in charge of regulating AI is a bit like letting the fox guard the henhouse. Supporters say you need people who actually understand the technology to make smart policy.
Love it or hate it, this council will have real power over the future of AI in America. And with billions of dollars and millions of jobs on the line, the stakes couldn't be higher.
