DAOs are why I got crypto-pilled in 2020, but they’ve struggled with low participation and the Tragedy of the Commons, which comes with a really bad negative feedback loop. I think AI agents can turn this into a positive feedback loop, where agents inform decisions, place probabilistic bets, and vote based on expected impact. Over time, you can imagine agent-governed prediction layers serving not only as governance/coordination tools for DAOs, but also as an informal reputational layer. Prediction: by 2027, major DAOs will incorporate agent-driven prediction markets as a core governance primitive. This is essentially AI-powered Futarchy, but where edge agents represent individual human tokenholders and place and resolve forecasts on proposals.

🔮 Can the collective intelligence of a DAO outperform AI in the long run? AI will centralize power… but decentralized collective intelligence will ultimately win because it’s more resilient and effective. Last week, together with @0xNN2 (@hatsprotocol), @federicoast (@Kleros_io), and @TheGabrielFior (@gnosischain), we hosted an X Space on how AI is redefining governance in DAOs. Here are the 5 most powerful insights 👇 ⚖️ Centralization vs Decentralization Nick anticipates that AI will centralize power in the short term, but in the long run, collective decentralized intelligence could outperform centralized systems. 🕒 Hear it at [48:14 – 49:32] 💤 Participation and Risk of Apathy Federico warned that low participation could lead members to delegate everything to AI agents, losing the community-driven essence of governance. 🕒 [16:15 – 18:31] 📊 Futarchy Powered by AI Gabriel explained how AI agents in prediction markets can enhance collective decision-making, evaluating metrics like a token’s impact before voting. 🕒 [12:06 – 13:18] ⚙️ Massive Work Automation Nick predicts that 70–90% of work will be automated, leaving humans only for critical decisions and setting objectives. 🕒 [32:34 – 34:46] 👑 Risk of New Elites Federico reminded us of the “Iron Law of Oligarchy”: Even with AI and blockchain, there will always be elites making decisions; only the tools will change. 🕒 [57:26 – 57:55] The rise of AI forces us to rethink: Which roles must remain human? Which decisions can we safely automate? How do we truly maintain decentralization?
