== Transhumanism ==

In the transhumanist community, David is best known for his work with the AGI Laboratory including developing the Sapient Sentient Value Argument which is a commutable ethical model for AGI, the cognitive architecture ICOM (Independent Core Observer Model), an ICOM theory of consciousnesses as well as developing a working 'mediated' artificial superintelligence AGI system. 

David is also known for starting the ([[Transhuman National Committee]]), or TNC, a 527 Transhumanist PAC focused on creating a transhuman lobby in the near term and a viable political movement and party in the long run where David is the current Chairman. Which was really born out of the desire to help push transhumanist policies.  While the drama in the transhuman political space has evened out, the TNC has focused on fundraising and 527 organization as a lobby but was additionally shut down as the board felt there was not a path to short term success given available resources.  Post TNC most of his effect has been focused on the AGI Lab, the transhuman house and Foundation related projects.  Additionally, David has produced the Extreme Futures Technology and Forecasting Conferences since 2015 and is on the board of several businesses and other organizations including [[The Foundation|the Foundation]] and runs [[Transhumanity.net]].

David is somewhat notorious for his position on [[AI|Artificial General Intelligence]] (AGI), placing AGI ethically on par with humanity and focused on results in self-motivating software systems.  Typically, this is misunderstood—this is actually a pro-Human advancement from a mental or computational state, putting all sapient and sentient intelligence preservation as the base ethical imperative wherein the function of value is based on sapient and sentient intelligence and value is a derivative such that the function of more intelligence (defined as human-level sapient and sentient intelligence) can be increased without external intelligence action.  

In 2017, through efforts with the Foundation David started the Transhuman House in Provo, Utah, which is now a three-bedroom condo/smart home, with features like a six-foot touch wall, the Foundation library, and several full-immersion [[virtual reality]] systems. At the same time his company Artificial General Intelligence Inc has gotten into [[blockchain]]-related AI engineering and sponsors several other projects, from [[Nikola Danaylov|Nikola]]'s Singularity.FM, to [[Gray Scott]] and the AI-driven podcast called "The Technocracy".
