Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published insights on the potential application of AI in decentralized governance. He identifies the scarcity of human attention as a core issue in decentralized governance systems like DAOs, and critiques traditional delegation mechanisms for fostering power concentration. To address these challenges, Buterin proposes leveraging personal large language models (LLMs) for solutions such as personal governance agents, public dialogue agents, suggestion markets, and decentralized governance with private information. He underscores the critical importance of privacy, advocating for the integration of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) in governance tools to ensure participant anonymity and the use of multifaceted technologies to protect data privacy.
