Trump stated.
Sacks’ role will involve shaping policy and creating regulatory frameworks for the AI and cryptocurrency sectors. He will also lead the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology, tasked with advancing innovation and ensuring U.S. competitiveness in emerging technologies.
Sacks will also serve as a liaison between the White House, Congress, and federal agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).&nbsp;
