Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-born tech leader, has announced his departure from his role as Senior Policy Adviser for Artificial Intelligence at the White House, effective at the end of June. Krishnan, who was born in Chennai, India, has had a notable career in technology, having worked with major companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter. He joined the White House in January 2025, where he significantly contributed to the American AI Action Plan and the National AI Policy Framework. In his announcement on X, he expressed gratitude for his time at the White House and mentioned his future plans to address AI challenges in the U.S. and its allies. Krishnan's views on immigration reform, particularly his support for easing green card caps for skilled workers, drew criticism from some right-wing commentators. After a brief hiatus, he intends to focus on building institutions aimed at tackling the challenges he identified during his tenure in public service.
