Sriram Krishnan, a top White House adviser on artificial intelligence, is stepping down from his role at the end of June. Krishnan, who was part of US President Donald Trump's administration's efforts to create a national framework for regulating AI developments, said he intends to help 'tackle some of the large challenges facing America' related to AI.
Krishnan's departure comes as President Trump is looking at the possibility of the government acquiring stakes in AI firms and has signed an executive order outlining a hands-off approach to cybersecurity threats raised by AI.
White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks said Krishnan will continue working with the White House as an outside adviser. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk thanked Krishnan for his service.
