SingularityNET in 2024 tasked the Supervisory Council (Grace Rachmany, Daniel Ospina, and Xhoni Shollaj) to create a Blueprint for Decentralization, an essential document for the progressive decentralization of the SingularityNET ecosystem in its strategy for the development of Benevolent AGI. The Blueprint provides a comprehensive “How to DAO” approach to decentralization, as well as recommending specific next steps for SingularityNET.
“Most of the talk around technology ethics and safety comes from the top down,” says Daniel Ospina, Supervisory Council member and co-author of the Blueprint. “This Blueprint gives a comprehensive outline of how organizations can create truly democratic structures for governing the technologies they develop. Given the pace of AI and AGI development, implementation of democratic principles is urgent.”
The Blueprint takes a “systems thinking” approach inspired by Stafford Beer’s Viable Systems Model and Daniel Ospina’s work on The Six Interactions, covering all aspects of the organization’s function.
The Blueprint makes seven immediate recommendations for SingularityNET including:
-
Running a strategy assembly including multiple stakeholders in the ecosystem for defining the community and ventures strategy.
-
Giving wallet control to the separate entities in the ecosystem.
-
Implementing tactical alignment around the objectives of the different entities.
-
Creation of an ethics and safety training body.
-
Provision of legal issues for participants in the ecosystem.
-
Oversight and quality control for delivery of proposals funded through the grants program.
-
Collaborative proposal-writing using technologies designed for group collaboration.
The Blueprint represents groundbreaking work in the area of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) by providing a systematic breakdown of all of the implementation areas for self-governance of Web3 and other collaborative organizations. Rather than covering theoretical ideas, the Blueprint provides tangible steps and specific technologies that are available today for DAO implementation.
