As the issue of governance comes up more and more in discussions about consensus protocols, it is becoming clear that Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision focused on machine governance rather than human governance. However, if AI really poses such a threat to humanity, as Elon Musk and Sam Altman believe, why are we taking such risks?
Today's AI on the Internet is controlled by our likes, retweets, reviews and links - tokens that we do not own. These tokens own us because they constantly conduct public surveys that benefit the owners of such networks. In order to remain competitive, Facebook and Google are increasingly becoming like organizations from Orwell's novels.
What has made them incredibly successful is their ability to assign an individual to an individual page on the web. However, the price for this is quite high - our privacy. At the moment, the question is how to secure people in the network in a decentralized way, without making them subjects of corporate propaganda.
Unlike Facebook, a decentralized network will not be limited by media logic and algorithms for attracting attention. Instead, the source of legitimacy must be human consensus - one person per node - that will help unlock the full potential of blockchain governance. Such a social network could become a kind of democratic system within the Internet.
Democracy Earth was working to bring digital democracies online, and it quickly became apparent to researchers that whoever controlled the voter registry could manipulate election results. However, the introduction of decentralized human consensus can change this state of affairs, which is also present in traditional elections.
Decentralization of democracy could be an important step for humanity, as the institution of the state continues to lose relevance in a growing global society.
