Former White House AI Czar Resigns to Join Science Council

David Sacks, the former White House AI and crypto czar, has announced his resignation to join the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

In this new role, he will be able to address broader technology issues and continue to support Trump's AI policy framework. This move comes after Sacks publicly advocated for a US exit from the Iran conflict, which has been a contentious issue in recent months.

Sacks' resignation marks the end of his tenure as special government employee, which was limited by law. During his time as czar, he eased restrictions on AI chip shipments to China and supported Trump's efforts to advance US technology policy.
