Researcher | Artist | Tech Humanist

Valdemar Danry is an award-winning researcher and artist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he explores how AI can amplify rather than erode human reasoning. By combining insights from AI, cognitive science, and philosophy, he designs Socratic AI assistants and wearable cognitive tools that help people think more critically, reason more clearly, and maintain intellectual independence in an age of automation. Danry's work has been published in premier academic venues including Nature: Machine Intelligence, Frontiers in Computer Science, and the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. He has worked with international researchers from UC Berkeley, Harvard, Georgia Tech, and ETH Zürich, as well as with leading organizations such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta Reality Labs, and Microsoft Research. His work has been exhibited at BOZAR Brussels Centre for Fine Arts, Ars Electronica, Electrical Artifacts, and the MIT Museum, and featured in The New York Times, Wired, Forbes, Scientific American, Time Magazine, The Guardian, and TEDx.
