More about what @anke_g_liu and I are building @AO_Commons
6/ The multi-agent ecosystem is growing, but research, tools, and insights remain fragmented👇 @AO_Commons connects researchers, builders, and institutions through shared infrastructure, deployment-grounded research, and collaboration to advance safe, effective and reliable autonomous organizations. 🧵 of my slides following @samccarthy27 at the London AO Summit hosted by @AO_Commons and @ARIA_research

/10 @AO_Commons was born of the Stanford AO Summit, and we want the ecosystem to help shape what comes next where a future with increasing autonomous systems meaningfully benefits humanity overall 🤝 Building an AO? Publishing research? Developing tools or benchmarks? We'd love to feature your work and explore opportunities to collaborate. Get involved on aocommons.org 🚀

Right!
Replying to @samccarthy27
2/ Organizations are still the most intelligent entities in the world They uniquely provide a shared context where knowledge can be communicated and collective intelligence can be created among diverse actors Autonomous orgs will exponentially amplify this process between humans and new intelligent actors in AI agents In other words: we’re here to build the new most intelligent entities in the world

Yes! Excited to be part of this effort, there is so much work yet to be done on autonomous organizations
there is a future where autonomous organizations benefit humanity at large, but this requires us to actively build towards this future together rather than sitting back and seeing how it all unfolds

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. hackernoon.com/bad-governanc…

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 🧵👇

4/ 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.
