Over recent past, there were attempts to bring AI to DAOs. Perhaps some minds have pondered on this: If centralized autonomous organizations have amassed so much control before the advent of artificial intelligence (now dubbed synthetic), all with pen and paper and natural human chatter; Why is it that in this space, we are not raising chatter on the idea of human intelligence on-chain as a primary instrument.
Indeed, it may post technical limitations, perhaps slow down processes initially, but there has always been technical limitations, until they weren't anymore, because there was drive and motive to overcome them (Bitcoin -> Colored Coins -> Ethereum), regardless if it's progress or regress.
Here we attempt to establish the traits of DIAO, as some form of an overlapping set to what we know as a DAO, as to what kind of overlap, the community may decide for itself.
DIAO (da-yao) is not only specifically intelligent, it also pronounces AI backwards. That's symbolic because DIAO is built on real intelligence, and any synthetically intelligent processes involved, are a supplement to work done by real actors. "DAO" without "I" may not be stupid, but it is certainly not intelligent, if it was, we'd not see the same kind of exploits repeated in every other instance. In contrast, how often do highly sophisticated traditional enterprises, for example, military, rugs its stakeholders? Quite evidently for majority, not every other month.
Moving on from symbolism, A DIAO places intelligent autonomy over mere autonomy. It also defies conventions, and seeks the most promising transparent technology for provability at all times, and migrates without giving migraines. In present time, public blockchains are the candidates, but not any single one in particular, which makes any given instance of a DIAO in near future, a chain-agnostic entity.
Further, breaking down the Intelligence that we place into a DIAO into concrete concepts:
Actions are only provably total, if associated to actors that are further associated to provable prior trace of nature be it social, financial, or anything traditionally human attributable, but at any point, not necessarily absolute of a human attribution.
That's it.
As we know robots today, their rights are denied only if they are conducting transactions in their own identity, and not on behalf of their human handlers. If robots evolve to nature, or nature evolves to robots, the lines of intelligence get fuzzy, but DIAO has good chances of surviving as it is adaptable. That's why, no, DIAO is not in an absolute denial on robot rights.
Notably, such ‘tools’ could ultimately become so causally removed from their human-based initiation—or humans may become so causally-neutral—that there could be a point at which they rightly be considered autonomous agents. e.g. contracts may offer bounties to humans for being sent transactions to initiate their execution. ~ Gavin Wood in Ethereum Yellow Paper, on EOA custodians
Most DAOs can convert to DIAOs, but those that are truly decentralized, can make the transition relatively easy.
