David Siegel Biography
David Siegel is an entrepreneur, web pioneer, and technology futurist known for his work in digital innovation and web design. After earning a master's degree in digital typography from Stanford University and beginning his career at Pixar, Siegel became one of the first entrepreneurs to recognize the potential of the World Wide Web. He founded one of the first digital web design agencies in San Francisco, and his book, "Creating Killer Web Sites," became an international bestseller translated into 16 languages. The book is regarded as a significant text in the history of web design. Siegel's agency, Studio Verso, was later acquired by KPMG.
Siegel transitioned from web design to web strategy consulting, authoring "Secrets of Successful Web Sites" and "Futurize Your Enterprise," which advised businesses on restructuring around internet-empowered customers. His book, "Pull: The Power of the Semantic Web to Transform Your Business," examined how the Semantic Web could reshape commerce and society. Through these works, Siegel has provided guidance on digital transformation, web strategy, and business innovation to corporations and startups, with clients including Hewlett-Packard, Sony, and NASA.
Siegel has also focused on blockchain technology and decentralization, authoring "The Token Handbook" and founding the Pillar Project, an open-source blockchain wallet designed to give individuals control over their personal data. The project's initial coin offering raised over $21 million. Over his career, Siegel has founded more than 25 companies and contributed thought leadership on artificial intelligence, the machine economy, and digital money. He has written for publications such as Harvard Business Review and spoken at conferences worldwide.
As a keynote speaker, Siegel has delivered more than 200 professional speeches on topics including artificial general intelligence, the future of work, gene editing, robotics, and decentralization. His talks encourage audiences to reconsider assumptions about technological change and its impact on business and society. With a career spanning typography, web design, enterprise strategy, blockchain, and AI, Siegel continues to contribute to discussions on technology and digital transformation.

DROP EVERYTHING
DROP EVERYTHING that isn't going to be relevant to an AI-paced world in six months. Things are changing so fast that you need to have the capacity to do experiments, change culture, and try to stay ahead of the blade.
-
Artificial General Intelligence
Artificial General Intelligence isn't what people think. It's not coming in a few years. For all practical purposes, it's already here. This is not because machines are so smart but because humans are so bad at solving problems, even though they think they are good.
