Is An Operating System Needed For Collective Intelligence?
September 6, 2018
Humans love labels, organizing, and order. The more the Internet becomes commonplace in our daily lives, the more organization becomes important. The Let’s Talk Bitcoin Network has an interesting discussion on the need for an operating system for humanity’s collective intelligence in the article, “#237 Matan Field: DAOstack-An Operating System For Collective Intelligence.”
Looking back through history, humans cooperating and acting in collective organization has had an important impact at historical milestones. Think the discovery of fire, invention of the wheel, war, Industrial Revolution, etc. But what does it mean for humanity when the Internet runs more of our lives?
“As we move towards an increasingly connected and automated society and economy, there will become a need for decentralized infrastructure which enables companies and markets to make fast decisions at scale. We’re joined by Matan Field, CEO of DAOstack, a new platform that aims to become the operating system for collective intelligence. DAOstack is building a toolset to allow decentralized governance and building self-organizing collectives at scale.”
This podcast focuses on how a DAOstack would enable a collective intelligence operating system, its importance, and why we are going to need one.
I can see the importance of a centralized operating system, but then my science fiction imagination comes into play. I have visions of HAL 2000 and its many descendants taking over the world. Or robots. Robots taking over the world. What about the Borg? There is them too. Would it not be more intuitive to create a bunch of smaller collective operating systems that sync up than putting all the eggs…ahem…data in one basket?
