What happens when AI learns to organise itself?
Last Friday, I spoke at the Autonomous Organisation (AO) Summit in London, co-hosted by @AO_Commons and @ARIA_research’s Scaling Trust programme.
At @GenReasoning, we built Avalon, where AI agents learn to organise and collaborate autonomously. I believe collective intelligence is the next frontier of AI.
But greater autonomy raises a bigger question: How do humans stay in control? And more fundamentally, who decides what's worth pursuing?
To me, AI isn’t just a technical challenge, but a question of human identity.
Thanks to @ObadiaAlex, @anke_g_liu, @samccarthy27 and the team for bringing together thoughtful minds.

Most of the time, governance is invisible. You only notice it when something goes wrong.
@samccarthy27 took us inside the nine-week redesign at @gooddollarorg. A fascinating look at the craft of designing for participation.
My latest for @hackernoon.

Inspired by @VitalikButerin's d/acc work & the general trend of 'gov is dead so why bother' this year, I want to introduce gov/acc
gov/acc is an open research program focused on outlining the problems we're facing in web3, as a starting point for accelerating gov R&D

Barriers to better evidence use:
⚙️ Technical: fragmented data standards, poor tooling
⚖️ Participation: voter apathy, plutocracy, collusion risk
🌐 Cultural: “move fast & experiment” often trumps accountability
Projects like @DAOstar_One & KOI Pond are trying to fix this.

1/ 🚀 The State of DAO M&A is here! 🚀
We analyzed 65+ DAO mergers & acquisitions—the successes, the failures, and what's next.
DAO founders & investors: this one’s for you. 🧵👇
📖 Read the full report from @DAOstar_One @areta_io @EmoryUniversity : daostar.org/reports/mna.pdf
M&A could be critical for building resilient and scalable decentralized organizations. But, after 65 deals and counting, we’re not there yet, say @joshuaztan, @GrennanJill and Bernard Schmid.
