From drafting the "U.S. AI Action Plan" to leaving the job to start a business, Sriram Krishnan turned his government experience into a springboard for entrepreneurship—navigating the delicate balance between policy and technical institutions, which serve allies while maintaining official influence. This is much more sophisticated than pure lobbying.

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.
