Pam Bondi was appointed to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology on May 27, joining prominent technology leaders including Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison. PCAST is co-chaired by David Sacks, a former crypto and AI policy figure, and Michael Kratsios, the administration’s science adviser. Bondi’s legal background includes service as U.S. Attorney General and prior oversight as Florida’s Attorney General, with experience in technology-related enforcement and digital assets fraud cases. Her role is positioned to coordinate between the White House and private-sector members. The council’s direction could affect regulatory approaches for AI-driven crypto products as stablecoin legislation and the CLARITY Act advance, potentially shaping SEC and CFTC guidance.
"Trump appointed former Attorney General Pam Bondi to PCAST on May 27, joining Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison on the panel. PCAST is co-chaired by David Sacks, Trump's former crypto and AI czar, signaling policy continuity for the digital assets industry. With stablecoin legislation in the Senate and the CLARITY Act advancing, PCAST's direction could influence SEC and CFTC guidance on AI-driven crypto products."
"Bondi is set to sit alongside some of the most influential figures in global technology, given that the PCAST is co-chaired by David Sacks, Trump's former point man on both AI and digital assets policy, and Michael Kratsios, the administration's science adviser. The panel also includes Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, a lineup that gives the White House direct access to the leadership of three companies at the center of the global AI buildout."
"Bondi, who served as U.S. Attorney General from January to April 2026 before being removed from the position by Trump, will be tasked with facilitating coordination between the White House and the panel's private-sector membership. Her legal background (of eight years as Florida's Attorney General before joining Trump's cabinet) positions her as a bridge between regulatory considerations and the administration's ambitions in AI and emerging technology."
"As attorney general, Bondi oversaw the Justice Department's approach to technology-related enforcement, including digital assets fraud cases. Her appointment to the PCAST suggests the administration sees legal expertise as a deliberate complement to the technical leadership already represented on the panel, particularly as AI-driven products in financial markets (including crypto) face growing regulatory scrutiny."
