Sriram Krishnan, Advisor on AI Policy to Trump, Announces Departure

Sriram Krishnan, who served as an adviser on artificial intelligence (AI) policy in the Trump administration, has announced his departure from the role. His resignation marks the end of his tenure as a key figure in shaping the administrations approach to AI regulation and security.

During his time in the White House, Krishnan played a crucial role in the development of policies aimed at fostering innovation while addressing security concerns related to AI technologies. His expertise in technology and public policy has been instrumental in guiding discussions on the implications of AI in various sectors.

As the conversation around AI continues to evolve, Krishnans exit raises questions about the future direction of the administrations AI policy, particularly in areas such as data privacy, ethical AI usage, and international competitiveness. The Biden administration is also expected to place a strong emphasis on AI in its own policy initiatives, which may lead to new frameworks and standards in the technology field.

Krishnan’s resignation will take effect in June 2026, and it is yet to be announced who will succeed him in this pivotal role.
