President Donald Trump hands a pen to Senior White House Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence Sriram Krishnan after signing an executive order while U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) (2nd L) and Commerce Secretary Howard look on in the Oval Office of the White House on Dec. 11, 2025 in Washington, D.C. The executive order curbs states’ ability to regulate artificial intelligence, something for which the tech industry has been lobbying.

White House artificial intelligence policy adviser Sriram Krishnan on Saturday said he will leave his position at the end of June, marking the exit of a leading figure helping craft policies for frontier technologies.
“This journey has been the privilege of a lifetime,” Krishnan posted on X. He did not give a reason for leaving.
Krishnan has been involved in Trump administration efforts to create a national framework for regulating AI developments, as security fears in Washington have mounted over powerful new systems.
Anthropic’s Mythos, for example, has reportedly demonstrated the ability to expose cybersecurity weaknesses in computer systems such as at banks.
The White House on Tuesday released an executive order that directs federal agencies to ask leading AI developers to voluntarily submit their most capable models for government cybersecurity tests before releasing them to the public.
