Scoop: Trump appoints Bondi to White House AI panel

President Trump has appointed former Attorney General Pam Bondi to an advisory committee focused on AI policy, Axios has learned.

Driving the news: Bondi, whom Trump ousted as AG last month, will be on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).

• The panel is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios.
• It also includes more than a dozen tech executives, including Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.

What we're hearing: Bondi will be charged with facilitating coordination between the government and the tech titans on the panel.

What they're saying: "Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president's team, and I'm thrilled for her and for all of us that she's going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces," Vice President JD Vance said in a statement.

• Bondi will also serve in a newly established advisory role on national infrastructure.

Between the lines: Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after departing the Justice Department, according to a source.

• She underwent treatment and is recovering.
