United States President-elect Donald Trump has named All In podcast co-host and venture capitalist David Sacks as his lead policy adviser on artificial intelligence and crypto.
“David O. Sacks will be the ‘White House A.I. & Crypto Czar,’ Trump wrote in a Dec. 6 post on his social media platform Truth Social — two areas he called “critical to the future of American competitiveness.”
“He will work on a legal framework so the Crypto industry has the clarity it has been asking for, and can thrive in the U.S.,” Trump added.

Trump’s presidential campaign strongly embraced crypto, and he has promised to make the US “the world capital of crypto,” create a strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserve and said he wanted “all the remaining Bitcoin” to be mined in the US.

Part of Sacks’ role will also unexplainably be to “safeguard” online speech and “steer us away from Big Tech bias and censorship,” Trump wrote.
He added Sacks will also lead the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology.
