Trump science adviser Michael Kratsios helps shape US AI policy

While six tech leaders waited under Secret Service lockdown before receiving national medals, Huang complained about a Delta flight without working Wi-Fi. Musk joked that putting an AI on a Delta flight was the “best way to sandbox” it. Little known during Trump’s first term, Kratsios is now the White House point man on nuclear, space and quantum issues. His office is also involved in debates over AI regulation and reforming American science.
