Trump Is Putting Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, and Larry Ellison in Charge of America's AI Future

President Trump is forming what could be the most powerful tech advisory group in American history. According to the Wall Street Journal, he is appointing Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Jensen Huang (NVIDIA), and Larry Ellison (Oracle) to a brand new 'technology council' that will help shape the country's AI policy.

The council could include up to 24 people and will be co-chaired by David Sacks, the venture capitalist and tech figure who has become one of Trump's closest advisors on technology issues.

This is a massive deal. These three men collectively control the companies that build the chips (NVIDIA), run the cloud infrastructure (Oracle), and deploy AI to billions of users (Meta). Putting them in charge of AI policy is like asking the biggest players in the game to write the rules.

Supporters say this is smart governance, getting the people who actually understand the technology to help shape policy instead of leaving it to bureaucrats who cannot tell a GPU from a CPU. Critics are calling it the fox guarding the henhouse, arguing that these executives have massive financial incentives to push for less regulation.

Either way, this council will likely have enormous influence over everything from AI safety rules to how quickly autonomous systems get deployed across industries. As reported by The Wall Street Journal.
