in a couple of Social Truth publications On Sunday, Donald Trump announced a series of picks for his administration's technology policy team that will report to David Sacks, Trump's “ai and cryptocurrency czar.” Those chosen include Michael Kratsios, who will lead the Office of Science and technology Policy (OSTP) if confirmed by the Senate.
Kratsios, who served during Trump's first term as White House chief technology officer, also briefly held an acting deputy secretary position at the Department of Defense near the end of the term. He later became CEO of Scale ai and has been helping lead Trump's tech policy transition team.
The president-elect also tapped his former deputy chief technology officer, Dr. Lynne Parker, as executive director of the President's Council of Advisors for Science and technology. Leading the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets (also known as the “crypto Council”) will be former college football player and failed Republican congressional candidate, Bo Hines. Sriram Krishnan, who has extensive experience in Silicon Valley and has worked at Andreessen Horowitz, x, Meta and Snap, will advise Trump on ai policy as part of the OSTP.
