Daniel Nadler is an award-winning poet, artificial intelligence innovator, and visual artist.

Nadler’s debut collection of poetry, Lacunae (2016) was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and was named a Best Book of the Year by NPR. In 2018 Nadler was elected to the board of directors of the Academy of American Poets, becoming the youngest person ever to be elected to the Academy's Board in its 85-year history.

Nadler, who received his PhD from Harvard, founded the most valuable artificial intelligence company ever acquired, Kensho Technologies. Kensho's first investor was Google. In 2017, at Davos, Kensho was named by the World Economic Forum as "one of most innovative and impactful technology companies in the world". In 2018 Kensho became, according to Forbes, the most valuable privately owned artificial intelligence company in history when it was acquired by S&P Global for $700 million.

As a visual artist, Nadler works in two types of media: 1) digitally-manipulated real world photography that he captures in his studio and then transfigures using neural networks, and 2) physical sculpture. Nadler’s sculpture process involves working with both three-dimensional digital sculpting techniques as well as classical bronze casting techniques. Across both media, Nadler juxtaposes new and classical techniques that have never been seen together before in order to produce new relationships and new visual realities.

In 2020, Nadler was invited to serve on the Digital Art Committee of the Whitney Museum, where he continues to play an active leadership role. In 2021 Nadler was elected to the Board of Directors of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) PS1.
