Near Foundation is advancing an AI system designed to boost participation in DAO voting by creating digital twins of users. This initiative aims to tackle low engagement rates in governance processes by allowing these digital representations to vote on behalf of members, based on learned preferences. Lane Rettig, a governance researcher at Near Foundation, highlighted at the Token2049 conference that while the AI will handle routine decisions, human oversight will remain crucial for significant matters like fund allocation. The use of AI agents in Web3 is expanding, with projections from VanEck suggesting over one million AI agents in the crypto sector by 2025.
