AI Summary
David Sacks, the venture capitalist serving as White House AI and cryptocurrency czar, announced Thursday that he is stepping down from that role after reaching the 130-day limit on the position. Sacks told Bloomberg his work will shift to co-chairing President Trump's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), allowing him to continue advising the administration on technology and innovation policy.

His move to PCAST signals continued focus on tech policy within the administration despite leaving the formal czar title.
