Sriram Krishnan to leave White House AI advisor role

Sriram Krishnan, who has been a senior policy advisor for AI at the White House, will wrap up his role by the end of June. He announced this on X, expressing gratitude to President Donald Trump and highlighting the importance of the AI Action Plan, which prioritized data center growth instead of regulation and safety measures. Working alongside David Sacks, the former AI and crypto lead and current co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Krishnan has a rich background, having held senior positions at companies like Microsoft, Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, and Snap, along with a recent stint at Andreessen Horowitz. The Washington Post reports he plans to create organizations to address challenges for the U.S. and its allies, which could influence Trump's AI policies from outside the administration.
