David Sacks Steps Down from White House AI Role, Continues as Co-Chair of PCAST

David Sacks, a venture capitalist, has announced that he is stepping down from his role as the White House's AI and cryptocurrency czar due to the 130-day limit on special government employees.

Sacks will continue to advise the president as co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), which includes several prominent tech executives, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang.

The PCAST is a group of experts who provide advice to the president on science and technology policy. The council has been criticized for its lack of diversity and representation from academia and non-profit organizations.
