Summary

Tunu Chhabra, identified as Tarun Chhabra in official documents, is a prominent figure who served as a key staffer within the Biden administration, holding roles such as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Technology & National Security on the National Security Council staff. He has recently transitioned to Anthropic, an AI company. This move has drawn criticism from commentators like David Sachs, who views it as part of an 'ideological-industrial complex' that influences the administration's approach to global AI governance and promotes a 'Woke AI' environment, potentially jeopardizing the United States' competitive position in the global AI race with China.
