d/acc social tech from a swiss perspective
Duration: 00:10:04
Speaker: Isla Munro, Una Wang
Type: Lightning Talk
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
Zuitzerland‘s thesis on how a permanent network state sandbox can serve as a „free social space“ and aid in scaling d/acc governance models beyond Swiss borders. Zuitzerland aims to build on the social technology developed over 700 years of decentralized governance in Switzerland, a thriving nation state, that’s no. 1 in innovation per capita, and one of the world’s only direct democracies.

Viruses and Chronic Aging: Building a Research Community
Did you know that mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and cognitive decline are directly accelerated by viruses? In fact, the viruses that infect us over a lifetime are technically not even alive, and therefore must “hack” our human cellular metabolism machinery to do anything at all. This talk will overview the first-ever global collaborative network studying & treating chronic viruses as drivers of aging, including how certain lifespan-promoting drugs may help combat viral activity.

What's In Your Dose?
Pandemic responses require robust technical tools such as molecular diagnostic tests, novel immunization reagents, and recovery surveillance tools. Pandemic responses depend on public trust in these tools and their good faith deployment. Verification strategies to enhance public trust and cooperation will improve the performance of molecular tools in future pandemics.

Circles - resilient money
Circles is an attempt to design money while maximizing decentralization and resilience. Furthermore it tries to find a balance between "newcomers", joining the social contract that any form of money represents, and those already in it.

Hardware Security: From Sand to Stone
All software runs on hardware. The assumptions on which many of our systems rest are often shakier than we realise. This talk explores hardware security, its shortcomings and the path to a firmer foundation.

Public epistemics and futarchy
35 years ago I began outlining a vision of how betting markets could offer informed credibly-neutral estimates on far more disputed topics. I elaborated 25 years ago on how decision markets could support neutral governance, and 21 years ago on how combinatorial markets allow estimates on all possible combinations for existing topics. Now in the last year, we are seeing substantial crypto-based trials, especially re governance. In this talk, I’ll paint a picture of where all this could go.

NeuroAI for AI safety
Powerful unaligned AIs pose risks to humans. This talk will explore how neuroscience-inspired AI–or NeuroAI–can lead to a deeper understanding of the human brain, and help us build more secure AI. I’ll connect these ideas to d/acc, arguing that neuroAI can play an enabling role in creating technologies that are inherently defense-favoring and promote human well-being.

The political economy of d/acc
The dynamics behind d/acc are not new. Economic history is full of examples of the private provision of public goods. If we want to reduce AI risks while preserving freedom from centralized control, it's worth thinking carefully about the different ways humans have solved isomorphic problems in the past, and how the same tools could apply today.

AI Agents x Prediction Markets
This talk will explore how autonomous AI agents are participating in prediction markets today, covering live examples and their underlying technology. Furthermore, the talk will discuss the benefits of AI participation over human participation for the future of prediction markets and their wide spread adoption.
