Sriram Krishnan, the White House artificial intelligence policy adviser, is expected to leave his post at the end of June, according to a report from The Information.
Krishnan has been serving in a role focused on AI policy at the White House, but the report did not say why he is leaving or identify what he may do next. The departure would end a relatively short tenure in one of the administration’s key technology policy jobs.
His exit comes as AI remains a central policy issue in Washington. The federal government has been working on how to address the rapid growth of AI systems, including questions around safety, competition, innovation and national security. A White House adviser in this area can play an important role in shaping internal policy discussions and coordinating across agencies.
The report did not provide details about whether the White House has selected a replacement or established a timeline for filling the position. It also did not indicate whether Krishnan’s departure will change the administration’s broader AI agenda.
The White House AI policy role has attracted attention as companies, lawmakers and regulators try to keep pace with the technology’s development. Advisers in this space often work on guidance for how government should respond to the growing use of AI in public and private sectors.
Krishnan’s planned departure highlights the continued turnover in government technology posts, especially as administrations respond to fast-moving developments in the industry. The source material did not mention any public statement from Krishnan or the White House about the move.
While the details remain limited, the reported exit is notable because of the visibility of AI policy within the federal government. The White House has made AI a priority topic as it weighs potential rules, standards and partnerships related to the technology.
The Information said Krishnan is expected to leave by the end of June. Beyond that, the report offered few specifics. For now, the main takeaway is that one of the administration’s AI policy advisers is nearing the end of his current White House role.
