Sriram Krishnan 将卸任白宫人工智能顾问一职
Former tech executive and VC Sriram Krishnan is leaving the Trump administration at the end of June. “It is hard to express how big a privilege it has been to serve the American people and how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to do so,” Krishnan said in a post on X. “First and foremost, it has been an honor to serve under President [Donald Trump]. Without his leadership, we would not be leading in the AI race.”
前科技高管兼风险投资人 Sriram Krishnan 将于 6 月底离开特朗普政府。“很难用言语表达为美国人民服务是多么大的荣幸，我也非常感激能有这样的机会，”Krishnan 在 X 上发文称。“首先，能在[唐纳德·特朗普]总统麾下任职是我的荣幸。没有他的领导，我们就不可能在人工智能竞赛中处于领先地位。”
Krishnan, who’s been serving as a senior policy advisor on artificial intelligence at the White House, was one of a number of tech industry figures to take roles in the second Trump administration. Krishnan has led product teams at Microsoft, Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, and Snap, and he was most recently a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, a firm whose founders threw their support behind Trump during the 2024 election.
Krishnan 此前担任白宫人工智能高级政策顾问，是特朗普第二任期政府中任职的多位科技界人士之一。他曾领导过微软、Twitter、雅虎、Facebook 和 Snap 的产品团队，最近的身份是 Andreessen Horowitz 的合伙人，该公司的创始人在 2024 年大选期间曾公开支持特朗普。
In his post, Krishnan highlighted some “key public accomplishments,” starting with the administration’s AI Action Plan, which prioritized data center construction over regulation and safety. Since then, Trump has signed several executive orders around AI, including one that seeks to challenge state-level AI regulations and another focused on oversight that was delayed and narrowed after industry pushback. Trump has also endorsed the idea that the government could take an equity stake in major AI companies.
在帖文中，Krishnan 强调了一些“关键的公共成就”，首先是政府的《人工智能行动计划》，该计划将数据中心建设置于监管和安全之上。此后，特朗普签署了多项关于人工智能的行政命令，其中包括一项旨在挑战州级人工智能法规的命令，以及另一项在行业抵制后被推迟并缩减范围的监管相关命令。特朗普还支持政府可以持有大型人工智能公司股权的构想。
Krishnan noted that the person he “worked [most] closely with over the last 18 months” was David Sacks, the investor and podcaster who stepped down as AI and crypto czar earlier this year and became co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. “[Sacks’] continuing advocacy for America winning on AI has been and continues to be crucial,” Krishnan said.
Krishnan 指出，他在“过去 18 个月里合作最密切”的人是 David Sacks。Sacks 是一位投资者兼播客主持人，他于今年早些时候卸任人工智能和加密货币主管，并出任总统科技顾问委员会联合主席。“[Sacks] 对美国在人工智能领域获胜的持续倡导一直并将继续至关重要，”Krishnan 表示。
Next, Krishnan said he will be “building institutions” that tackle big challenges for “America and its allies.” According to The Washington Post, he’s planning to start an outside institution that will still give him a role in influencing Trump’s AI policy. “Whether it is energy, data centers or a clear path for Americans to experience the benefits of AI, there are many tough issues we all need to navigate together,” Krishnan said.
接下来，Krishnan 表示他将“建立机构”来应对“美国及其盟友”面临的重大挑战。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，他计划创办一个外部机构，这将使他能够继续在影响特朗普的人工智能政策方面发挥作用。“无论是能源、数据中心，还是让美国人体验人工智能益处的清晰路径，我们都需要共同应对许多棘手的问题，”Krishnan 说道。
