Vitalik advocates using personal LLMs to improve the efficiency of decentralized governance

PANews February 21 News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post proposing several ideas to optimize democracy and decentralized governance using AI and personal LLMs (large language models). He believes that “AI directly acting as government” is dystopian, but mechanisms such as personal governance agents, public participation dialogue agents, and AI-based suggestion/prediction markets can help alleviate issues of human attention and expertise shortages in DAO and other governance processes. Vitalik also suggested introducing technologies like secure multi-party computation, TEE, or encrypted circuits in decentralized decision-making scenarios involving sensitive information, allowing personal LLMs to participate in judgments within a “black box.” He emphasized the need to strengthen participant anonymity and content privacy protection through zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party privacy computing tools.
