Silicon Valley–Washington revolving door is turning again. After 18 months of building up policy connections and experience, they are venturing out on their own to do AI policy consulting. This path is too classic.

White House Artificial Intelligence Policy Advisor Sriram Krishnan announced his resignation at the end of June, having taken office in early 2025. About 18 months later, he will establish a policy and technology organization to recruit engineers to continue supporting the U.S. government and allies' AI initiatives. During his tenure, he promoted the Executive Orders for the "U.S. AI Action Plan," "AI Acceleration Partnership," and the "National AI Policy Framework," and showcased the U.S. AI tech stack at the India-U.S. summit.
