Bondi Returns to White House Ties as AI Policy Liaison Amid Cancer Battle

President Donald Trump has named former Attorney General Pam Bondi to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) as a liaison to the White House on AI policy, a consolation prize after Bondi was fired over her handling of the Epstein files. Bondi, 60, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer weeks after leaving the DOJ, and Todd Blanche has been serving as acting attorney general. Bondi’s appointment places her among top tech figures advising the White House on science and technology policy.

Tech titans lead Trump’s science advisory panel, with one academic in tow

President Trump named 13 members to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), making the panel heavily tech‑industry dominated with 12 technology executives and a lone academic, John Martinis of UC Santa Barbara. The lineup features Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin, Jensen Huang, Lisa Su, and Michael Dell, among others, with two MIT‑educated leaders in nuclear-energy startups noted. Critics lament the absence of biologists and university researchers, arguing biotech balance is lacking, though Trump could add up to 11 more members under a 2025 order. PCAST advises the White House on science policy and reviews cross‑agency programs.
