The Problem with Centralized Governance
Current AI development is concentrated in a few corporate and governmental entities. This creates significant risks:

- Profit-motivated systems always outperform ethical systems
- Feedback loops reinforce existing biases at scale
"If your AI training data is 98% Western middle-class perspectives, you're not building an AI for humanity, you're building one for a minority."
Decentralized Ethics Frameworks
By integrating blockchain-based governance, we can create AI systems that evolve through consensus:
Transparency
All AI decisions are auditable on immutable ledgers
Community Participation
Stakeholders vote on ethical guidelines using DAOs
This isn't about creating perfect systems - it's about building resilient systems that can adapt to new ethical challenges as they emerge. Our goal should be AI that evolves with humanity, not an AI locked in 2025's ethical understanding.
Practical Implementation
I've been working with a global team to prototype a Proof of Concept using:
