Trump's Tech Transition

Gail Slater, Sen. JD Vance’s economic policy adviser, and Michael Kratsios, Donald Trump’s chief technology officer during his first term, will head tech policy for the transition. Kratsios helped pen the Trump administration’s 2020 AI executive order, which emphasized research investment, federal computing resources, and training the U.S. AI workforce. Slater also worked for the first Trump White House as a special assistant to the president for tech, telecommunications, and cybersecurity issues where she pushed a free-market approach to 5G technology.
