A researcher at the Near Foundation told Cointelegraph last year that he was working on AI-powered digital twins that vote on behalf of DAO members to address low voter participation.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says artificial intelligence could help create more efficient decentralized governance models and enable users to make better-informed decisions.
Buterin said in an X post on Sunday that one of the main issues with democratic and decentralized modes of governance, like DAOs, is the “limits to human attention,” because of the many decisions that can require a wide range of expertise or time, which most don’t have.
“The usual solution, delegation, is disempowering it leads to a small group of delegates controlling decision-making while their supporters, after they hit the delegate button, have no influence at all,” he said.
