AIDS Awareness, Education, and Orphanage Support: David Mpoupe-Singui's Humanitarian Footprint


What makes David Mpoupe-Singui's perspective on artificial intelligence and technology ethics worth paying attention to? The short answer is that he is not speaking from outside the system. With senior financial roles at Sony Pictures Studios and UCLA, executive leadership at Lendings Biz and Direct Money Source, Inc. — including a CEO title over a five-division financial corporation — and ongoing work as CFO of Protecta-inc in Beverly Hills, he has spent over two decades inside the kinds of organizations where technology decisions are made and where their consequences play out. His essays are grounded in that experience, and they push back against the tendency to treat ethical questions as secondary to technical ones.



How does David Singui balance his executive responsibilities with his writing and humanitarian commitments? The honest answer is that he does not experience them as separate. The same analytical discipline he brings to financial reporting, cash management, and budget implementation at Protecta-inc is the discipline he brings to his writing. The same concern for long-term consequences that shapes his forecasting work shapes his thinking about AI and innovation. And the same conviction that expertise should be used in service of others drives both his professional approach and his philanthropic work — including African Foundation 2000, which supports African students in completing their education abroad and re-entering their home country's workforce, and the African Arts Foundation, which he co-founded to give African culture greater international visibility.
