WASHINGTON, June 7 (ANI) — White House artificial intelligence policy adviser Sriram Krishnan announced Saturday that he will leave his position at the end of June.
In a post on X, Krishnan said, “I’ll be leaving my role at the White House at the end of this month. After a break, I’ll be working on helping tackle some of the large challenges facing America on AI. It is hard to express how big a privilege it has been to serve the American people and how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to do so.”
He also praised President Donald Trump, saying, “Without his leadership, we would not be leading in the AI race.”
Krishnan highlighted several accomplishments during his 18-month tenure, including helping develop the American AI Action Plan, advancing AI acceleration partnerships, and contributing to the National AI Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence executive order.
“Second, I owe a lot to the person I’ve worked most closely with over the last 18 months — David Sacks. His continuing advocacy for America winning on AI has been and continues to be crucial,” Krishnan wrote.
He cited several achievements he was particularly proud of, including architecting and publishing the American AI Action Plan, establishing AI acceleration partnerships to strengthen the American AI technology ecosystem globally, helping develop the National AI Policy Framework, and advocating for U.S. AI interests with international allies during AI summits and state visits.
Reflecting on the future, Krishnan said the past 18 months had given him a front-row seat to the critical challenges facing the United States and its allies in the AI sector.
“Whether it is energy, data centers, or a clear path for Americans to experience the benefits of AI, there are many tough issues we all need to navigate together. I plan on building institutions that help tackle some of those challenges for America and its allies,” he said.
Krishnan also expressed gratitude to colleagues throughout the administration for their support and collaboration and thanked his wife, Aarthi Ramamurthy, for her support throughout his tenure.
“This journey has been the privilege of a lifetime and shown me how special this country is and how it needs all of us to contribute in any way we can — and I plan on continuing to do just that,” he said.
According to The Washington Post, White House spokesman Kush Desai said Krishnan played a vital role in the administration’s technology agenda.
“After leaving behind his immensely successful private-sector career, Sriram has been a critical asset for the White House and President Trump’s push to cement American dominance in technology and innovation,” Desai said, adding that the administration looks forward to continuing to work with him in his next venture.
Krishnan helped design the administration’s AI Action Plan, which outlined a roadmap to ease regulations on emerging technologies and support the expansion of data centers nationwide. He was also among Trump’s technology advisers involved in drafting an executive order that limited states’ ability to regulate artificial intelligence, according to The Washington Post. (ANI)
