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

PANews reported on February 21 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article proposing several ideas for optimizing 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, citizen participation dialogue agents, and AI-powered suggestion/prediction markets can help alleviate issues of limited human attention and expertise in governance structures like DAOs. Vitalik also suggested introducing technologies such as multi-party secure computation, TEE, or encrypted circuits in decentralized decision-making scenarios involving confidential information, allowing personal LLMs to participate in judgment within a "black box." He emphasized the need to enhance participant anonymity and content privacy protection using zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party privacy computing tools.
