Sriram Krishnan exits the White House AI advisor role

Sriram Krishnan, the former Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook, Snap, and Andreessen Horowitz executive who became a senior White House AI policy advisor, said he will leave the Trump administration at the end of June. The personnel move is not as large as a new law or executive order, but it matters because Krishnan had become one of the tech-industry figures associated with the administration's AI agenda. TechCrunch notes that he highlighted the AI Action Plan and the administration's emphasis on data-center construction over regulation and safety. His exit lands after several AI executive orders and after industry pushback helped narrow a frontier-model oversight order. The policy direction itself remains intact; the story is about continuity risk and who now carries the administration's AI-industry bridge role.
