PCAST to Advise on AI, Quantum Computing, and Biotech
The panel will be co-chaired by White House technology advisers David Sacks and Michael Kratsios and will be terminated in two years unless renewed by Trump.
Previous presidents, including George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have created similar groups to address innovations in technology and to remain globally competitive. Outside of AI, PCAST will also focus on quantum computing, advanced biotechnology, and soliciting information from stakeholders.
