Media Engagement

Updated: April 2026

Bio

Daniel Miessler is the founder of Unsupervised Learning, a company focused on building AI systems that augment human capability and helping people and organizations identify, articulate, and execute on their purpose. He has 25+ years in cybersecurity and the last several years applying AI to business and human problems.

Daniel's current work centers on helping people and companies upgrade themselves for an AI-integrated world. His main pushes are Human 3.0 — a framework for a world where humans define themselves by their unique contributions rather than their jobs — PAI (Personal AI Infrastructure), the platform that gives people AI that truly knows them and helps them activate their best selves, and Telos, a framework for articulating your identity, values, and goals.
