About Daniel Nadler

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 to be elected to the Academy's Board in its 85-year history.

Nadler received his PhD from Harvard and went on to found an AI lab that became the most valuable AI acquisition of the 2010s (when it was acquired by S&P Global for $700 million). Subsequently, he founded OpenEvidence, a Sequoia-backed unicorn (valued at over $1 billion) that is the most widely used AI application among doctors in the United States today. This year, over 50 million people in the United States alone will be treated by a doctor who uses OpenEvidence. 

As a visual artist, Nadler works in two types of media: 1) digitally-manipulated real-world photography and 2) physical sculpture. Nadler’s sculpture process involves working with both three-dimensional digital sculpting techniques as well as classical bronze casting and marble carving techniques. Across 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.
