White House AI Policy Adviser Sriram Krishnan to Depart End of June

The exit of the administration's senior AI strategist raises questions about continuity in federal artificial intelligence policy at a critical implementation stage.

The Congressional Times · June 7, 2026

Sriram Krishnan, senior policy adviser on artificial intelligence at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, confirmed Saturday that he will leave the position at the end of June 2026, according to a report by The Hill published June 7, 2026. Krishnan, a technology investor, has served as a principal figure in the Trump administration's AI policy architecture since joining the White House in early 2025.

Krishnan was centrally involved in developing strategic frameworks aligned with President Trump's executive agenda on artificial intelligence, including initiatives directed at expanding U.S. AI capacity and competitiveness, per The Hill's reporting. The specific policy documents and executive directives he contributed to are public records held by the Office of Science and Technology Policy; full text of any signed executive orders on AI is available via the Federal Register.

No official White House announcement had been released as of the date of this report, and the administration had not publicly named a successor as of June 7, 2026. The circumstances of the departure — whether voluntary resignation or conclusion of a time-limited appointment — were not confirmed in available public records at time of publication.

Krishnan's role placed him at the intersection of federal procurement, national security AI applications, and regulatory policy, areas that carry direct implications for agency budgets and USASpending-tracked contract awards to AI vendors. The scope of his specific policy outputs, including any unpublished strategic plans, would be disclosed through OSTP records or future Freedom of Information Act requests.

What remains unknown: the identity of any interim or permanent successor, the status of ongoing AI policy initiatives he led, and whether his departure affects the timeline of any pending executive actions on artificial intelligence. White House personnel announcements and OSTP public records would be the authoritative sources to answer those questions.

We Follow the Data, Not the Narrative

The Congressional Times exists because public records are public — and the analysis built from them should not be exclusive to those who can afford $60,000-a-year intelligence subscriptions.

Every story published in The Congressional Times is sourced to a verifiable public record: a court filing, a Senate lobbying disclosure, an FEC contribution record, a USASpending contract, or a verified news report. We state our sources inline. We show our math. When we are wrong, we say so publicly.

We do not editorialize in news coverage. We do not use loaded language. Both political parties are held to identical standards.

The Follow the Money investigations are the heart of this publication. Each begins with Gab-E Political Intelligence running against 10+ million government records before a single word of editorial is written.

How We Source, Verify, and Correct Our Work

Every factual claim in a Congressional Times story is checked against a primary source: a government filing, a court record, a direct quote, before publication. When a claim can't be verified or doesn't hold up as originally reported, we drop it or reframe it. We do not publish disputed claims as settled fact.

When we get it wrong: we correct the story directly, note the correction and date at the bottom of the piece, and update the record. We do not quietly edit and move on.

Bylines: stories with a named byline are written and fact-checked by that person. Stories without a byline are sourced from Gab-E Political Intelligence, our automated research platform, and are labeled as such.
