Biography

David W. Wood, D.Sc., was one of the pioneers of the smartphone industry. He is now a futurist writer, educator, consultant, and speaker. His most recent initiatives are Future Surge, https://futuresurge.org/, and the Vital Syllabus, https://vitalsyllabus.org/.


As Chair of London Futurists, David has organised over 250 public meetings since March 2008 on futurist and technoprogressive topics. Membership of London Futurists currently exceeds 9,000. As Principal of the independent futurist consultancy and publisher Delta Wisdom, David helps clients around the world to anticipate and manage the dramatic impact of rapidly changing technology on human individuals and communities. This includes the NBIC technologies (nanotech, biotech, infotech, cognotech) of the fourth industrial revolution, and the emergence of AGI (artificial general intelligence) and resulting “singularity”.


Previously, David spent 25 years designing, implementing, and trailblazing the use of smart mobile devices, including ten years with pioneering PDA manufacturer Psion PLC, and ten more with smartphone operating system specialist Symbian Ltd, which he co-founded in 1998. At different times, his executive responsibilities at Psion and Symbian included software development, technical consulting, partnering and ecosystem management, and research and innovation. By 2012, his software for UI and application frameworks had been included on 500 million smartphones from companies such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, and Fujitsu. From 2010 to 2013, David was Technology Planning Lead (CTO) of Accenture Mobility, where he also co-led Accenture’s Mobility Health business initiative.


David’s most recent book is "The Singularity Principles". His previous books include "Vital Foresight", "Smartphones and Beyond", "The Abolition of Aging", "Sustainable Superabundance", and "Transcending Politics". He has a triple first class mathematics degree from Cambridge and undertook doctoral research in the Philosophy of Science. He has an honorary Doctorate in Science from Westminster University. He blogs at dw2blog.com and tweets as @dw2.

Hello World!

Mindplex is launching at exactly the right time - when there's a growing surge of public interest in the rapidly increasing power of AI.

Along these lines, here's an article I noticed, "Becoming strange in the Long Singularity".

A brief quote from it:

So what do we tell our students, our children, ourselves about our current progress in the Long Singularity? That flexibility is key. That everyone should be experimenting with these new tools to understand what they mean for us. That we should be prepared for a possible future that is very different than the past, in ways that are unknowable right now. People are flexible, and technological change usually gives more than it takes, but we need to be ready for a much stranger world.
