Sriram Krishnan, a top artificial intelligence policy advisor in the Trump administration, plans to leave his White House role at the end of June. He is expected to launch a new institution focused on advancing Trump-aligned AI policy.
Krishnan has served as a key figure in shaping the administration's approach to artificial intelligence regulation and development. His departure marks a significant shift in the White House's AI advisory structure as the year progresses.
According to reporting from The Information, Krishnan's next move involves establishing a dedicated policy institution aligned with Trump administration priorities. The organization is expected to continue influencing AI policy decisions from outside the government.
Krishnan's role has encompassed advising on critical AI issues including governance, safety standards, and competitive positioning against rival nations. His work has been instrumental in crafting executive actions and regulatory frameworks affecting the technology sector.
The timing of his departure comes as AI policy remains a central focus for the administration. Key debates over AI regulation, innovation incentives, and international competitiveness continue to unfold across government agencies.
The establishment of an external policy institution allows Krishnan to maintain influence while operating independently. This structure reflects a broader trend of policy advisors transitioning to think tanks and advocacy organizations to extend their impact beyond government service.
Krishnan's successor and the specific focus areas of his new institution have not been detailed. The White House has not yet announced plans for filling the AI advisor role following his departure.
The move underscores the fluid nature of tech policy leadership in Washington, where key figures often shuttle between government positions and private sector roles.
