White House AI Adviser Sriram Krishnan to Depart in June
Top AI policy adviser Sriram Krishnan announced his exit from the White House, citing a desire to address broader AI challenges, while the administration rolled out new voluntary cybersecurity testing measures for advanced AI models.
Sriram Krishnan, a top White House artificial intelligence policy adviser, announced that he will leave his position at the end of June. He posted on X that “This journey has been the privilege of a lifetime.” He did not give a reason for leaving and wrote that he intends to help “tackle some of the large challenges facing America” related to AI.
Krishnan has been involved in the Trump administration’s efforts to create a national framework for regulating developments in AI. He is a Chennai‑born tech expert, described by the Times of India as Trump’s outgoing AI advisor. According to the Times of India, he blamed U.S. tech leaders for public fear of artificial intelligence, describing the tech leaders’ messaging as dystopian, and suggested that a public stake in AI companies is crucial for acceptance. The Times of India also reported that the administration vowed there would be no “FDA for AI,” aiming to avoid bureaucratic hurdles for developers.
The White House released an executive order directing federal agencies to ask leading AI developers to voluntarily submit their most capable models for government cybersecurity tests before releasing them to the public, as reported by gvwire.com. gvwire.com also reported that Anthropic’s Mythos has demonstrated the ability to expose cybersecurity weaknesses in computer systems such as those used by banks.
