Sriram Krishnan, the senior White House policy adviser for artificial intelligence, has announced he will leave his post at the end of June 2026. Having led the Trump administration's AI policy for roughly 18 months, he said on his social media that he would be "leaving my role at the White House at the end of this month" (details). Without elaborating on his reasons, he said that after a break he plans to build a new institution to tackle "large challenges around America on AI."
