Sriram Krishnan, a senior White House policy adviser focused on artificial intelligence, says he will leave his post at the end of June. Krishnan, who previously worked as a Twitter executive and advised Elon Musk during the social media platform’s acquisition, announces the change in a social media post. He does not cite a specific reason for stepping down, but he frames the experience as “the privilege of a lifetime” and thanks President Donald Trump and other administration officials for their support.
Multiple outlets describe Krishnan as a central figure in the administration’s AI policy work. They point to his involvement in developing major AI initiatives, including the administration’s AI Action Plan and the National AI Policy Framework associated with an executive order. He also highlights work on AI acceleration partnerships and international coordination with allies.
Several reports also say Krishnan may continue influencing the administration’s approach to AI policy outside the White House, with at least one outlet describing plans to create a new institution. The coverage comes as the Trump administration continues shaping AI-related governance and policy, while broader public debate around AI infrastructure, including data centers, continues to expand.
