Hi-Centric-AI · Founders

The founders.

Hi-Centric-AI is articulated by named human beings — two founders working as both philosophers of the discipline and practitioners of its application. The discipline is theirs to articulate; it is the world's to extend.

The discipline made visible

The architecture is articulated jointly.

Dorsey and Nowak articulate Hi-Centric-AI's working architecture together — the diagram of how the discipline is built, where the named human authority sits, and how the substrate, knowledge, and field relate. It is the working register of the discipline, and it is meant to be looked at.

Co-founder

Daniel William Dorsey

Chief Executive

Articulates the philosophical commitments of Hi-Centric-AI and the work of applying them across regulated professional practice. Holds responsibility for the discipline as a discipline — its principles, its boundaries, and the relationship between its philosophical commitments and the domains in which the work is carried out.

Brings a long-running practice across consumer health, applied science, and regulated professional domains. Works as the principal voice articulating Hi-Centric-AI as a contemporary field of practice rather than a theoretical framework.

“The discipline of artificial intelligence built around human cognition is not a new idea. Wiener saw it in 1948, Engelbart in 1962, Polanyi in 1966. What our generation has lacked is the contemporary articulation — the working philosophy and methodology that takes the lineage seriously and translates it into practice across the professions where named human authority is constitutive of the work itself. Hi-Centric-AI is that articulation, offered as a discipline to be inherited rather than as a position to be defended.”

Co-founder

Daniel Nowak

Chief Technologist

Architects the systems through which Hi-Centric-AI is practiced. Holds responsibility for translating philosophical commitments into working artificial intelligence frameworks — the substrate, infrastructure, and design choices through which the discipline is made operational.

Works as a full-stack practitioner across backend systems, data pipelines, agent orchestration, and applied AI infrastructure. Brings a long-running pattern of building practical, revenue-oriented systems that combine domain expertise with advanced computation.

On founding a discipline

Why the founders are named.

A discipline that holds named human authority as its founding principle cannot be articulated anonymously. The commitment to named cognition begins here — with the named cognition of those who founded the discipline. Hi-Centric-AI is articulated by Daniel William Dorsey and Daniel Nowak. Their judgment in founding the field can be located, attributed, and defended.

The discipline they articulate is, however, not theirs alone. It is offered as a contemporary discipline of practice — something to be inherited by other practitioners, extended by other named authorities, and applied across domains beyond those the founders work in directly.
