White House AI Policy Advisor Sriram Krishnan to Leave Position
He plans to build an outside institution that will keep shaping U.S. AI policy after serving about 18 months in the role.
- White House senior AI policy adviser Sriram Krishnan announced he will leave his post at the end of June, concluding his tenure as a principal architect of the Trump administration's frontier technology strategy.
- Krishnan plans to launch a new, outside technology policy institution staffed with engineers, a nascent initiative explicitly designed to continue supporting and shaping the administration's AI agenda from outside the government.
- As a core author of the administration's "AI Action Plan," Krishnan consistently championed a pro-industry, "light-touch" regulatory framework that prioritized rapid domestic development, targeted "woke" AI models, and promoted a nationwide build-out of data centers.
- His departure follows growing ideological friction within the administration, as Silicon Valley's push to accelerate AI increasingly clashed with Trump allies who are alarmed by potential job displacement and are advocating for stronger federal protections.
- Looser oversight policies have also faced a recent pushback from senior national security officials, with key figures expressing heightened cybersecurity concerns after advanced commercial models, such as Anthropic’s Mythos, demonstrated capacities to identify software vulnerabilities.
