By
–
Looking at the newly announced PCAST, a few things stand out: — This group is heavily concentrated in AI and adjacent emerging tech like AI, crypto, semiconductor exports, data centers, etc. It’s also just 2 women and 11 men. — Most members have clear financial interests in the policy outcomes they’ll be advising on. Many are also very friendly to the administration and against regulation. — Members’ companies are among the most prominent tech firms to be targeted with future regulations. — By comparison, PCASTs under Obama and Biden were generally filled with academics, research scientists, university leaders, physicians, and others alongside some corporate execs.
