Michael Kratsios
Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy — Executive Office of the President
Signature issue: Technology policy — the administration's AI Action Plan and science agenda
Scoreboard tally
Wins, pending items, and setbacks on this profile are tallied from published scoreboard entries — never set by hand. The tally begins with the first reviewed weekly entry that scores this official.
Role status — October 2026: Kratsios is the incumbent OSTP Director, confirmed on March 25, 2025 and in role continuously since. His signature program in this chronicle’s research is the AI Action Plan — the administration’s technology-policy framework — and his profile intersects two others on this site: the National Cyber Director’s AI-testing work and, as of October 2026, DNI Jay Clayton’s added AI-coordinator hat. The administration’s AI portfolio, in other words, runs through three tracked officials, and Kratsios is its White House seat.
His public rhythm is moderate: congressional testimony and technology-policy events rather than a television circuit. His X account, @mkratsios47, is carried here at secondary grade — Audit Sprint B verified it through multiple independent quotations between July and October 2026, while noting that the White House OSTP page itself names no handle; the profile prints the handle with that sourcing note rather than as a .gov-verified fact. No sourced criticism of Kratsios was carried in this research pass, and none is asserted here.
Verified channels:
- X: @mkratsios47 (secondary-grade verification — multiple independent quotations, Jul–Oct 2026; the WH OSTP page names no handle, per Audit Sprint B)
- Agency: Office of Science and Technology Policy (whitehouse.gov/ostp)
Video sources: MODERATE. Congressional testimony and technology-event appearances, carried by C-SPAN, committee, and network channels. No verified personal YouTube channel was found in research.
Why he matters to this chronicle: Artificial intelligence is one of the few policy areas where this administration has added structure mid-term — an action plan, a cyber-testing role, and a DNI second hat all in 2026. Kratsios’s profile is the White House anchor of that thread, and the place where AI-policy promises will be scored as they produce evidence.
