White House postpones tech advisory panel meeting amid AI market turmoil
A White House technology advisory meeting set for Friday is postponed as scrutiny of the AI sector intensifies in Washington and across financial markets. The panel includes senior executives from Meta, Nvidia, AMD and Andreessen Horowitz, linking the delay to a group with direct influence on U.S. science and technology policy discussions.
Highlights
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, AMD CEO Lisa Su, and Marc Andreessen were scheduled to attend the postponed President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology meeting.
- Technology shares fell sharply Thursday as concerns rose that the new Congress may slow AI development and AI capital spending may yield low returns.
- The White House's delayed advisory panel meeting temporarily halts outside input on science and technology policy amid intensified scrutiny of AI sector volatility and regulation.
Advisory meeting delay and panel membership
As reported by Reuters, the Trump administration postponed a Friday meeting of the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, according to an Energy Department spokesperson. The outside panel advises the White House on policies involving U.S. science and technology.The group includes Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang, Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su and Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Marc Andreessen. The White House does not immediately respond to a request for comment on why the meeting is postponed.
AI sector pressures draw Washington focus
Technology shares sell off sharply on Thursday amid growing concerns that a new Congress will slow AI development and that heavy capital spending on AI buildouts may not produce sufficient returns. The market volatility heightens scrutiny of the sector among Silicon Valley executives and U.S. policymakers.The postponed meeting comes as debates over AI investment, regulation and national technology strategy remain closely tied to both market sentiment and federal policy decisions. Any delay in convening the panel leaves a temporary gap in formal outside advice to the White House on science and technology issues.
Our earlier coverage of the Nasdaq-100 selloff highlighted how the index came under pressure as investors questioned the payoff from heavy AI-related capital spending and growing concentration in mega-cap tech leadership. That piece also noted the launch of JQQQ, a blockchain-native fund offering digital access to Nasdaq-100 exposure, while warning that bearish risks remained elevated with the index trading below key moving averages and facing important resistance levels.
