David Sacks says his time as Trump's crypto and AI czar has ended
David Sacks will co-chair PCAST, advising on AI and broader technology issues after completing his 130-day special government employee term as Trump's AI and crypto adviser.
- On Thursday, David Sacks announced he is stepping down as White House artificial intelligence and crypto czar after completing his 130-day term as a special government employee.
- Sacks' departure follows the conclusion of his 130-day service limit as a special government employee, a designation that allowed him to maintain private sector ties while shaping federal technology policy.
- Alongside senior White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios, Sacks will co-chair the restructured PCAST, which includes 15 members such as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
- In his new capacity, Sacks plans to address advanced semiconductors, quantum computing, and nuclear power while pushing President Trump's national AI framework, released last week.
- The transition follows recent friction after Sacks publicly urged the President to find an "off-ramp" from the war with Iran, though he remains a partner at Craft Ventures, the firm he co-founded in 2017.
