Sriram Krishnan is leaving his White House AI advisor role at the end of June and is reportedly planning an outside group to keep influencing AI policy.
In short: Sriram Krishnan, a senior White House advisor on artificial intelligence, says he will leave the Trump administration at the end of June.
Sriram Krishnan, a former tech executive and venture capitalist, announced in a post on X that he is leaving his role as a senior policy advisor on AI at the White House at the end of June. He described the job as a privilege and said it was an honor to serve under President Donald Trump.
Krishnan has worked on product teams at major tech companies including Microsoft, Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, and Snap. Before joining the administration, he was a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm.
In his post, Krishnan pointed to what he called key accomplishments, including the administration’s AI Action Plan. TechCrunch reported that this plan prioritized building more data centers (large facilities filled with computers that power online services) over new rules focused on safety. The administration has also signed AI-related executive orders, including efforts to push back on state-level AI rules and a federal oversight order that was changed after industry objections.
Krishnan said he worked closely with David Sacks, who previously held the administration’s AI and crypto role and later moved to a separate advisory position.
Krishnan said next he will be “building institutions” focused on big challenges like energy and data centers. The Washington Post reported that he is planning to start an outside institution that could still influence Trump’s AI policy.
AI rules and the buildout of data centers affect everyday people through jobs, energy use, and how AI tools show up in products and government services. A key advisor leaving can change who has the president’s ear and what policies get priority next.
