Former Florida AG Pam Bondi Joins White House AI Panel Under Trump

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has been appointed to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology by President Donald Trump. The council, which focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) policy, is chaired by venture capitalist David Sacks and Deputy National Security Advisor for Technology Michael Kratsios. Notable tech industry leaders such as Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison are also members of this influential panel.

Bondi's role will be to facilitate communication between the federal government and these major technology companies. Her appointment comes at a critical time when AI policy is becoming increasingly important for national security and economic competitiveness. Bondi’s experience in law enforcement and her longstanding relationship with Trump make her a valuable asset to the administration as it seeks to navigate complex technological challenges.

In addition to her role on the AI panel, Bondi has been named to an advisory position focused on national infrastructure issues. This dual appointment underscores the administration's commitment to leveraging expertise across multiple domains to address pressing policy concerns. Vice President JD Vance praised Bondi’s involvement, noting that she will play a crucial role in tackling some of the most significant challenges facing the country.

Despite her recent health struggles—Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after leaving her position at the Justice Department and has since recovered—the former attorney general remains an active participant in shaping federal policy. Her continued engagement highlights the administration's reliance on trusted advisors to guide its initiatives, particularly those related to technology and infrastructure development.
