Daniel King

I am a research fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI), where I work on frontier AI policy and AI infrastructure. My research spans the governance of frontier-model developers, the policies shaping the data center buildout, and the implications of AI for space industrialization. I have written and testified on data center siting, behind-the-meter generation, and electric grid modernization.

I started Policy Gradients, which is now the blog of FAI's Super Intelligence (SI) directorate.

Earlier in my career, I did a stint in data science research and worked for a turbine startup, where I designed computational fluid dynamics experiments. I did my M.A. in Statistics and my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Math. Prior to that, my main interest was classical flute performance.
