Real AI use cases in crypto, No. 2: AIs can run DAOs

Genuine, no bullsh*t, hype-free use cases for AI in crypto: How AIs can help run DAOs and make them genuinely autonomous.

For every genuine blockchain project harnessing artificial intelligence there are 100 coins trading off the hype.

Magazine spoke with Near founder Illia Polosukhin, Framework Ventures founder Vance Spencer, MakerDAO founder Rune Christensen, Richard Ma from Quantstamp, Ralf Kubli from Casper and others to explore some of the key hype-free, genuine use cases for AI in crypto and blockchain.

Were rolling out one genuine use case for AI in crypto each day this week including reasons why you shouldnt necessarily believe the hype.

AIs can help run DAOs

MakerDAO is creating an Atlas to the entire project to assist in AI governance (Maker)

Decentralized autonomous organizations, as they exist today, are something of a fraud. As Framework Ventures founder Vance Spencer points out, they are not actually autonomous. Theres a bunch of people in the middle.“

“It just seems like AI is really our only way to actually make the DAO concept work,” he says.

Given LLMs hallucinate between 3% to 27% of their output at present, the technology is too immature to run a DAO by itself or to enforce governance rules, says Maker founder Rune Christensen. Nevertheless, he’s mapped out an ambitious plan for AIs to help run MakerDAO and its forthcoming subDAOs in his Endgame manifesto.

“People misunderstand what we mean with AI governance, right? Were not talking about AI running a DAO, he says.

“What AI is so great at, is replacing the most soul numbing, dumbest part of the work.

One of the big difficulties with DAOs is that its very difficult for members dispersed around the globe to understand what everyone else is doing and for tokenholders to understand the issues in the DAO well enough to cast an informed vote.

Near founder Illia Polushkin is an expert in both AI and blockchain.

Near founder Illia Polushkin an expert in both AI and blockchain explains that AIs really shine when it comes to monitoring whats going on and then summarizing and communicating that information effectively.

“In a way, that’s a manager’s job, he says. They know exactly what’s happening and they communicate to everyone exactly the part you need to know, as well as broader context about what’s happening.”

Images like these showing LLMs replacing humans in org charts of companies is where fear of AI comes from.

This was probably created as a joke, but many believe AI is very close to completely replacing them and their management!

This is factually not true.

He says AI can scale up to work with thousands of people, onboard new DAO members, manage logistics and coordinate everyones tasks.

The broader direction of the DAO can still be set by the community, likely via an elected board of directors.

“It can still be overseen by the community, they can provide feedback and decide on what are the goals for the DAO.”

The Near future… of AI-assisted DAO

Polushkin says the Near Foundation plans to experiment with the use of AI to coordinate smaller tasks before graduating to more complex and important jobs. The hope is that eventually, the AI will be able to handle the day to day management.

“I think the role of me and other folks in the system should be replaced in many ways, right? Polushkin says.

You know, we can still come up with ideas, but I think the coordination of all the functions (can be handled by AI).”

Members of the Near community have already experimented with building an AI that can autonomously decide which projects to support with funding, based on whether it believes a proposal satisfies the grant program criteria, and then automatically fund it from the treasury.

Makers AI Atlas

Makers approach will be to use various forms of AI tools called Governance Artificial Intelligence Tools (GAITs) as a guide to the entire project. It’s currently undertaking the mammoth task of cataloging in a formalized dataset what’s going on, who is doing what, along with all the rules that govern the workings of the DAO and everything that Maker has ever done. Theyre calling the dataset Atlas, as it will give a global overview of the entire project and it will be updated in real-time.

“Having that sort of central repository of data just makes it actually realistic to have hundreds of thousands of people from different backgrounds and different levels of understanding meaningfully collaborate and interact because theyve got this shared language.

Community members can use GAITs to find and bid on projects, with the AI providing instant feedback on whether a proposal fits within the guidelines, overarching aims and budget. The ability to instantly translate between languages will help communicate better with community members based in different parts of the globe.

Rune Christensen talking up Endgame and SubDAOs at Token2049.

Fullblown AI-assisted DAO governance is unlikely to be ready for the launch of Makers four new subDAOs in early 2024, but Christensen sees huge potential in the future.

“The AI strategy just changes how many humans you need in order to have a successful DAO, he says.

It’s possible that once you really get AI-assisted governance to a level of maturity, you may have a lot more DAOs than you have humans.”

Dont believe the hype

AI is already a useful tool for DAOs, but it will be a long time before AI will be mature enough to actually run DAOs.

Given the fierce politics in DAOs (often around who gets funding) there will a temptation to outsource decision-making to an “unbiased AI,” but this is not possible with any degree of confidence yet, given the state of the technology.

The current generation of LLMs hallucinate their answers at least 3% of the time, making them an unreliable guide to DAO governance and could see them potentially steering community members down the wrong path while attempting to coordinate them.

Given this unreliability, itll be a long time before youd trust one with the keys to your treasury without strict guidelines and spending caps to mitigate any errors.
