Peter Theil protege and director of Trump's Office of Science Technology and Policy, Michael Kratsios will lead AI policy.

Kratsios was actually Trump's acting director of OSTP during his previous administration during a time when supporters of the president claim the NIH took advantage of empty cabinet positions in order to advocate for "dangerous" gain of function research. Kratsios also led White House efforts to use cutting edge technology to limit misinformation about COVID-19 and track the spread of the virus in the U.S. during the early months of the pandemic.

Trump has now asked Kratsios to "blaze a trail" for science and tech supremacy.
