2023 talk: "Social Infrastructure for AI on Ethereum."

Event

Argument map

A static guide to the exported notes: AI progress changes the cost of coordination, so crypto tools may matter most where groups need shared memory, commitments, access control, and accountable delegation.

Thesis

Ethereum can act as public infrastructure for AI-era coordination: records, commitments, incentives, and permissions that humans and agents can both inspect.

Risk surface

More capable agents raise the stakes for identity, delegation, provenance, dispute resolution, and economic feedback loops.

Crypto tools

Signatures, attestations, encrypted records, token-gated access, onchain commitments, quadratic mechanisms, and public audit trails.

Open questions

What should be public, what should be private, who can update the map, how are summaries challenged, and how do agents inherit human intent without hiding the decision process?
