In a significant move, US President-elect ‘Donald Trump’ has named NRI Sriram Krishnan, a veteran entrepreneur and former Andreessen Horowitz partner, as the Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

This decision underscores a dedicated effort to solidify the US’s position as a leader in AI development, improve data governance, and maintain a competitive edge in the global tech industry.

With a strong background in social media, venture capital, and AI advocacy, Krishnan is expected to play a key role in shaping the administration’s AI policy. He will collaborate with David Sacks, Trump’s advisor on AI and cryptocurrency, to drive forward initiatives aligned with the administration’s tech priorities.

This appointment signals the administration's intent to focus on AI innovation while ensuring the US remains at the forefront of technological advancements in an increasingly competitive global market.

In previous public statements and writings, including a notable New York Times op-ed, Krishnan has emphasized the need for a redefined relationship between AI models and digital platforms. He has argued for a fair value-exchange mechanism, warning that without structural changes, platforms may continue raising digital “drawbridges” to protect themselves from AI exploitation—an issue he believes stifles innovation and leads to user discontent.

Krishnan’s views on AI ethics, decentralization, and platform accountability are expected to play a key role in the administration’s approach to navigating the challenges posed by generative AI technologies. As US enterprises increasingly integrate AI into their operations, Krishnan’s policy direction will likely have a significant impact on sectors such as technology, media, and manufacturing.

His appointment highlights the administration’s intent to balance innovation with governance, ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of global AI leadership.
