A tech investor who shaped the Trump administration’s pro-industry artificial intelligence policies will depart the White House at the end of the month.
Sriram Krishnan has informed administration officials that he plans to leave his post as the White House senior policy adviser for AI to start an outside institution that will influence technology policy, according to a person familiar with his plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private discussions.
Planning for the new initiative is in nascent stages, but it is intended to allow the tech leader to continue to play an active role in the Trump administration’s response to the development of AI.
