Sriram Krishnan, a former tech executive and venture capitalist, is departing from his role as a senior policy advisor on artificial intelligence at the White House at the end of June. Krishnan stated that it has been an honor to serve under President Donald Trump, attributing America's leadership in the AI race to Trump's guidance.
Krishnan, who previously held product leadership positions at major tech companies like Microsoft, Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, and Snap, and was a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, was among several tech industry figures who joined the second Trump administration.
During his tenure, Krishnan highlighted key accomplishments, including the administration's AI Action Plan, which prioritized data center construction over stricter regulation. He also noted several executive orders signed by Trump concerning AI, such as those challenging state-level regulations and establishing oversight mechanisms.
Krishnan announced his intention to "build institutions" focused on tackling significant challenges for the United States and its allies. Reports suggest he plans to establish an external organization to continue influencing Trump's AI policy.
