Trump appoints former AG Bondi to PCAST AI advisory panel

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has been appointed by President Donald Trump to serve on a White House advisory committee focused on artificial intelligence policy, according to reports. The appointment comes weeks after her departure from the Justice Department and follows a recent diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

Bondi will join the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a panel created by an executive order earlier this year. The council is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios and includes technology executives such as Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison. According to reports, Bondi’s role will involve facilitating coordination between government officials and the private sector members of the panel. She will also take on a newly established advisory role related to national infrastructure.

Vice President JD Vance praised the appointment in a statement, saying Bondi has been an enormously valuable asset to the president’s team and that he is thrilled she will remain involved in confronting important issues facing the administration.
